In addition to our students, families, and staff, the safety of our alumni is also a top priority.

If you or someone you know needs assistance navigating a college campus closure, please reach out asap to David Rhoades, DCAN College Persistence Manager at 870-714-0701.

CCSD would like to take this opportunity to recognize our two outstanding school counselors for their dedication to our students. Mrs. Susan Morgan, high school counselor with 18 years in education, and Mrs. Carol Crow, elementary counselor with 31 years in education, both prove everyday that they are here for our students.
