We continue to look for ways to improve upon our offerings and educational opportunities at West Side High School. We would like your feedback on offering Driver's Education during the school day schedule. We know that insurance for student drivers can be very costly, and many insurance companies still offer a discount for students who have successfully completed Driver's Education. Please complete this short survey if you have a young student driver. Thank you for your time in helping with this decision!

The overdose epidemic in the United States is a growing threat to public health and safety. In Arkansas, for example, drug overdose deaths soared from 388 in 2019 to 637 in 2021, an increase of 64%. Too often, unused prescription drugs find their way into the wrong hands, including children's and teens'. On Saturday, you can do your part by removing unneeded medications from your home on Prescription Drug Take Back Day by taking them to Greers Ferry or Fairfield Bay Police Departments.
