It is with extreme sadness that we notify you of the passing of a beloved NLRHS teacher and colleague, Mr. Stanley Whisnant.
Mr. Whisnant was admired by students, fellow teachers and staff, and families. Students looked forward to taking EAST because they would be able to work with him on innovative, self-guided projects.
Mr. Whisnant joined the district in August 1998 and has been a fixture in our district and in our community.
Mr. Whisnant was a man of great strength, and he loved North Little Rock High School and the North Little Rock School District. Although seriously ill, he fought through pain to be on campus with his students. He found joy in the classroom.
A memorial service will be held in his honor in the NLRHS Performing Arts Center on Thursday, January 11, from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
Our Board Workshop set to take place at 5:30 p.m. will begin at 6:30 p.m. so that everyone can attend the service if they desire.
Please remember his wife, Mrs. Karla Whisnant, the Principal at the Center of Excellence (COE), and his daughters, Ms. Jordan Whisnant, a Crestwood Elementary School teacher, and Ms. Jadyn Whisnant, a 2022 COE alumna, and the entire family throughout this time.
