Bus Driver Safety Awareness Week spotlight 🚌 Lillard Brockette has been driving for the Mills Middle, MUSHS, and Landmark for 15 years. He says he became a bus driver for the income but stayed because of his love for the kids and the job.
🌊 When he’s not driving, Lillard enjoys going to the beach and relaxing.
🗣 “Some days it’s tough since we are so short on drivers, but seeing the students’ smiles and the gratitude of some make it all worth it,” Lillard said.
Want to make a difference like these incredible drivers? 👉 Apply to be a bus driver at PCSSD: https://pcssd.schoolspring.com/

👨‍⚖️ Nearly 100 students from every PCSSD high school took an oath this morning to serve in Teen Court! 👩‍⚖️

⚖️ Teen Court empowers students to act as judges, jurors, and advocates, using restorative justice to help their peers learn from mistakes and make better choices.

🏫 PCSSD is proud to be the only district in Arkansas with a school-based Teen Court model, where students earn class credit while gaining real-world experience in justice and leadership.

📊 Studies show that teens who participate in Teen Court are less likely to reoffend compared to those in the traditional court system—proof that student leadership makes a difference! #PCSSDproud #TeenCourt #ServeAll

Our city parks are so valuable, and our MUSH students got a chance to be part of the Boyle Park Beautification with the Adopt-A-Park Program recently!

They earned community service hours when they spent four hours cleaning up litter, inspecting park equipment and utilities, and working on reports containing issues around the park. Students also came up with possible solutions to submit to the City of Little Rock targeting the improvement of this vital public space.

In Mr. Lewis's physical science students had the pleasure of guest speaker Dr. Varnell with Arkansas AIMS demonstrating a density lab for them. They got to experience the physical properties that the various liquids exhibited and wrote a lab report about what they observed and what they would hypothesize about them as well.

Ms. Prewett's AP Psychology class recently built models of the human brain using Play-Doh. They had to model the hypothalamus, brain stem, lobes, cerebellum, and more! In addition to building the model, the students had to write what that part of the brain is responsible for and how it affects the human body as well.
