Main Street El Dorado is hosting a Juneteenth Poster Contest! See the flyer for more information!
Arkansas Girls State was held May 28-June 2nd. Representing El Dorado High School at Arkansas Girls State were Matilyn Nash, Demyah Charles, Emmalou Parker, and Charli Parker.
Arkansas Girls State is a program of education sponsored by the ALA Department of Arkansas since 1942. It has provided training for over 55,000 Arkansas young women in the fundamental aspects of citizenship and practical government for the past 79 years. The ALA Girls State program in Arkansas is designed to provide citizenship training for young women of high school age; afford them an opportunity to live together in fictional cities and counties as self-governing citizens; inform them about the duties, privileges, and participation in the functioning of their government; and help them grasp the meaning of some of the responsibilities which they must assume when they become adults. The delegates elect their own officials, organize their own legislature, and have official visits with their real-life counterparts in the Capitol. Two delegates were selected to attend American Legion Auxiliary Girls Nation in Washington, D.C. as Arkansas Senators where a mock government experience is planned on the national level.
Our resident teachers kicked off the summer with a picnic at MAD this afternoon! Our partnership with SAU has been a great opportunity for our district, and we are excited to continue developing the next generation of teachers! Thank you to our Food Services and Human Resources Department for hosting! #EveryStudentDeserves

Brooks Burson and Peyton Howard of El Dorado from El Dorado High School were nominated to represent our community and school at Arkansas Boys State 2023, an immersive leadership and civic engagement experience sponsored by the American Legion.
Burson and Howard joined more than 500 young men attending the program's 82nd session at the University of Central Arkansas in Conway from May 28 to June 2.
"Arkansas Boys State is a legacy program that has produced remarkable local, state, national and international leaders," said Lloyd Jackson, executive director of Arkansas Boys State. "That Brooks and Peyton were nominated to attend speaks volumes to their character, pursuit of excellence, and desire to make their community stronger."
During their week at Arkansas Boys State, they were assigned a political party, city, and county. Throughout the week, they, along with their peers, administered, from the ground up, a mock government as if it were real: ran for office, drafted and passed legislation, solved municipal challenges, and engaged constituents.
"We like to say that Arkansas Boys State is a week that shapes a lifetime, and our tens of thousands of alumni can attest to that," said Jackson. "We're thrilled that Brooks and Peyton joined us and were able to experience this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
At Arkansas Boys State, the guys were guided through their experience by more than 60 volunteers who serve the program. The staff of volunteers included college students and career professionals with interests and expertise in education, finance, industry, politics and government, journalism, and more.
Today, WMS students prepared for "Medieval Madness," otherwise known as STEAM Day! Each class must complete at least 2 of the 3 projects ( a castle, catapult, or jousting), which involves designing and creating the item based on a rubric before entering it in the competition. A sneak peek into Mrs. Smith's classroom showed her students creating a castle with a drawbridge and turning a bicycle into a horse! We can't wait to see everyone's creations tomorrow!!

We are appreciative of those who paid the ultimate price for us to celebrate today! Have a safe and happy Memorial Day, ESD families!
Last week, elementary students celebrated a successful season of standardized testing! Students at Yocum Elementary participated in a carnival complete with a dunking booth, snow cones, and popcorn! Although we will not have scores for several weeks, administration and teachers across the district are proud of how hard our students worked in and out of the classroom! #EveryStudentDeserves
Reminder: There will be no school on Monday, May 29th in honor of Memorial Day.
As school comes to a close, LOTS of activities are happening around the district. Make sure you are checking your student's backpack/folder for information, staying in touch with teachers, and following along with your student's social media pages! End-of-year celebrations, field day, final exams...so much to do in the last week and a half of school!
Remember, the last official day for ESD students is June 7th!
You have one more chance to see the WMS production of Peter Pan TONIGHT beginning at 6pm at the EHS Auditorium. Tickets are $8 for adults and $5 for students and will be sold at the door.
