Studying for a science test is fun when you get to use the Kagan Structure Quiz-Quiz-Trade! Students not only practice the academic content through this structure, but learn to provide feedback and praise to their peers. Great job fourth grade teachers and students!
Not only does Cross County High School focus on content-specific instruction, but we also focus on developing important skills our students can apply in real life. Communication skills are necessary in almost every aspect of life from the classroom to the workplace and in general interactions with others. Mrs. Lacy uses her classes to help our students become better speakers and communicators.

All of our students have started the year reading the picture book (K-2) or novel (3-6) version of Wonder by RJ Palacio. We have had such wonderful conversations about kindness and being a true friend throughout CCETA. Our sixth graders finished the book last week and completed multiple activities, including covering our school with positive shout out post-its. Thank you 6th grade for your kind words!
A message about school safety from Superintendent Dr. Nathan Morris:
The Cross County School District would like to inform our parents and community of rumors circulating yesterday of an unsubstantiated threat of violence occurring at schools and public places in Arkansas. The Cross County School District is not aware of any threat against our school district. Late last night, the Arkansas State Police released this statement:
“The Arkansas State Police has been in close contact in recent days with the Federal Bureau of Investigation attempting to identify the source of an alleged threat of gun violence at an undisclosed Arkansas school reportedly planned for later this week.
At this time no corroborating evidence or useful details have been uncovered in regard to the information provided to the FBI. In the event more specific or credible information is received; it will be shared with local law enforcement offices, state and local school officials, as well as Arkansas citizens.
The Arkansas State Police asks that if anyone has information about a threat of violence whether the site of the threat may be a school or other public place, please contact your nearest Arkansas State Police Office or local law enforcement agency. A complete listing of state police offices can be found at https://asp.arkansas.gov/divisions/highway-patrol/“
We take the safety of all of our students and staff seriously and will continue to stay in constant contact with the Cross County Sheriff’s office and the Cherry Valley Police Department over the coming days. Both departments will give additional support to our District and we will continue to send updates if information changes.
A message from Superintendent Dr. Nathan Morris: It has been brought to our attention that a company outside of our community has been asking for donations for items such as t-shirts on behalf of the Cross County School District. All fundraisers that support any Cross County School District activity, grade level, or athletic team run through our School District locally. Administration, school employees, and The Nest Club (booster club) will reach out to you directly for any donations or fundraising requests. We do not utilize outside companies to ask for donations on our behalf. Thank you for your continued support of our schools!
