Trojans News
5 th Annual Pumpkin Light Night is a Success!

Thank you to a wonderful crowd of HSSD families and Hot Springs residents and partners who attended our 5th annual Pumpkin Light Night event! Our staff members and students put in many hours of volunteer service to make this night (which is entirely free to the public) possible. Thank you to all schools, student groups and clubs, and HSSD staff members across programs, clubs, and grades/schools who help to make this annual community outreach initiative a great success!
On November 4-6, students in grades 3-6 will be taking ACT® Aspire® Interim Assessments at all HSSD elementary schools. Each day (Monday - Wednesday), your child will one test in one subject area- one day in Math, one day in Reading, and one day in Science. Read more, here.
It was in September of 2016, that the great citizens of Hot Springs passed a millage to allow the Hot Springs School District to construct two brand new buildings -- Langston Elementary Leadership Academy and Hot Springs Junior Academy-- and to upgrade and remodel almost every one of the district’s campuses. In just over three years, we are nearing completion of each exciting addition/renovation to our facilities - including both new campuses listed above as well as a new indoor practice facility, remodeled library at the HSWCHS, and a revamped softball/baseball complex. Read at full Construction Update, here.
Second grade students at our #HSSD Gardner STEM   enriched their use of adjectives in day-to-day language through an Adjective Café experience. See how Ms. Crawford used food to reinforce language skills, here.
S tudent Group from Hanamaki, Japan -via the City of Hot Springs Sister City Program - Visits HSJA and Park Magnet
We were so proud to have a student group from Hanamaki, Japan (through the City of Hot Springs Sister City Program) at the HSSD, amid a long tour of Garland County schools and sites. The group of students, principals, and school administrators spent time on Tuesday at our HSJA and on Friday at our Park Magnet - touring classrooms, watching student performances, and visiting with our students and staff members.

Congrats to us all, and thank you to the many who organized, volunteered, and contributed to another outstanding Pumpkin Light Night event on Tuesday. As you know, this is our largest district wide outreach initiative for the entire year, and our 5th annual event didn’t disappoint - even with rainy weather. Trojan Good Things is a weekly shout out from #HSSD Superintendent Dr. Stephanie Nehus to individuals in our school community who are doing amazing things! Read more, here.
