Dear Trojan Families,

A group of people, some holding balloons and flowers, stand on a baseball field.
It’s an exciting week in the Hot Springs School District as we celebrate the Class of 2026 leading up to graduation on Thursday, May 14, at the Hot Springs Convention Center! 🎓 We are so proud of our seniors and can’t wait to watch them walk across the stage. We also want to wish our students in grades 3–11 the best of luck as they finish up their final two days of ATLAS Testing this week. And finally, good luck to our Lady Trojans and Trojans soccer teams as they compete in the state tournament!

🖤💛Go Trojans!

Final Week of 3-11 ATLAS Summative Testing

Students in Grades 3-11 did great this past week on the ATLAS tests and we know they will do well during the final two days of testing on May 12 and 14. Let’s make sure our students are set up for success.

Families, you can help your student shine by helping them:

  • Get plenty of rest
  • Eat a healthy breakfast
  • Stay positive and do their best

We believe in you, Trojans—let’s go show what you know!
