Dear Trojan Families,

A large group of elementary students proudly hold up books in front of the Trojans Read Book Bus.
As we head into the week of November 9–13, there's plenty to look forward to across the Hot Springs School District! Our students continue to shine both inside and outside the classroom, showcasing their talents and finding meaningful ways to give back. This week, we're looking ahead to an exciting evening of student-directed one-act plays as our Trojan Theatre students prepare for competition at the Arkansas Thespians One-Act Festival. We're also proud of our Hot Springs World Class High School Beta Club members, who are helping make a difference by hosting a community blood drive on Friday, November 13. Here's to another great week of learning, growing, and making every experience count!

Go Trojans! 💛🖤

Trojans Helping Trojans

At the Hot Springs School District, we believe in the power of community and caring for one another. We're asking our Trojan families, staff, and community members to help us stock the shelves at our Welcome Center by donating essential food items for families in need. We're collecting nonperishable foods, including canned goods, cereal, canned proteins, grains and pantry staples, peanut butter and other nut butters, and cooking essentials. Every donation, big or small, helps ensure that our families have access to the resources they need.

In addition to food donations, we're also collecting children's clothing in all sizes to help meet the needs of students throughout our district. Whether it's a few pantry items or gently used clothing your children have outgrown, your generosity can make a meaningful difference for our Trojan families.

You can drop off donations at 702 Main Street, Monday-Friday, between 8:30 am and 3 pm.
