GREENWOOD PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Greenwood High School is honored to invite you to the Veterans Day Assembly on Monday, November 11th at 10:30 A.M. in the H.B. Stewart Arena. This special event is an opportunity to honor and recognize the sacrifices and service of our nation's veterans. Join us as we celebrate and show gratitude for the brave men and women who have served and are serving our country.

We are heartbroken to share the tragic news of a house fire in the Greenwood community early this morning, which claimed the lives of two beloved Greenwood students. In response to this devastating loss, Greenwood Public Schools has arranged for counselors to be available at each campus to support our Bulldog family during this difficult time. To honor the privacy of those affected, we will not be releasing names at this time. We kindly ask that you keep the families, the Greenwood Fire Department, Police Department, First Responders, school administrators, students, and staff in your thoughts and prayers. Our deepest sympathies go out to the families involved, as well as to our dedicated staff and students, as we navigate this sorrow together.

The Greenwood Fine Arts Academy is open to children ages 9-14 in the Arkansas River Valley area who are interested in theater, music, or art. This weekend they proudly present the Lion, Witch, and the Wardrobe.
