New chapter, new goals!
Changes!
A tour of the high school following the July 14 school board meeting revealed fresh paint, all lockers removed and a covered walkway connecting from the existing walkway to the new agri building!
Superintendent Pike Palmer related bench-type seating will be placed in the hallways.
In the upcoming school year, each Kirby student will receive a school issued Chromebook with which to use for school work.
More details soon! Lots of exciting changes are in progress!

Kirby School named 2016-2017 School of Innovation
Kirby School has been named a 2016-2017 School of Innovation by the Arkansas Department of Education.
A school of innovation is tasked with designing new and creative alternatives to existing instructional and administrative practices. These changes are intended to improve academic performance and learning for all students. Approval to become a School of Innovation is determined by the Commissioner of Education and is granted for a four year period.
This will allow Kirby High School to continue their plans to create career pathways that will result in a value added diploma and student centered learning; ultimately working toward a goal of becoming a true business model, teaching all students employability skills.
