North Little Rock School District

It's Public Schools Week! Reason #1 to attend the NLRSD: Diverse School Community The North Little Rock School District is extremely diverse, and our campuses bring together students from all walks of life. Our students come from homes where more than 20 different languages are spoken, reflecting the rich cultural diversity of our community. This creates a vibrant and welcoming environment for everyone.

All NLRSD campuses and offices will reopen on Monday, February 24, at their regular times. For our high school students, tomorrow will be an A Day. See you tomorrow!

Studying agriculture exposes scholars to a diverse range of career opportunities. A recent USDA report indicates that 22.1 million full- and part-time jobs were related to agricultural and food sectors. It’s National FFA Week, and as we prepare for the launch of the North Little Rock 6 Academy of Agricultural and Veterinary Sciences in the fall, we will take a look at some potential careers in agriculture. Career #7: Soil Scientist A soil scientist studies land and water resources to better understand soil that will be used for agriculture, forestry, and urban development. A soil scientist is the go-to person for all things related to preserving soil for growing communities, potential water shortages, food supply and demand, and erosion.
