rom the town of Greers Ferry to the community of Ouachita River with a virtual academy in between, the expansion of EAST continues to bring access and elevation to schools around the state. Each program receives industry-grade technology, significant professional development for facilitators (teachers who manage in the EAST environment) and administrators, access to over 70 specialized student technology trainings, and real-world experiences that the students use to pursue projects based on their interests and career goals.
Superintendent of schools for Ouachita River School District, Jerrall Stranser shared,
“We could not be more excited to start the EAST Program at Acorn High School! Eight years ago we had the vision to start EAST and now the time is right for us to begin. Our mission at Acorn High School is to help prepare students for life. We know our new EAST Program will help us live up to our mission!”
