Star City High School is a comprehensive public high school for students in grades 9 through 12 located in Star City, Arkansas, United States. Star City High School is the only public high school in Lincoln County and the only high school of the Star City School District.

It serves Star City and Grady as well as multiple unincorporated areas.[4][5]

History

[edit]

In 2004 the Arkansas Legislature approved a law that forced school districts with fewer than 350 students apiece to consolidate with other districts.[6] In May 2004 the Arkansas Board of Education voted unanimously to merge the Grady School District into the Star City district.[7] On July 1, 2004, the Grady School District was merged into the Star City district.[8] The former Grady district operated Grady High School when it existed.[9] As a result of the 2004 merger, Grady High had consolidated into Star City High.[10]

Academics

[edit]

The assumed course of study follows the Smart Core curriculum developed by the Arkansas Department of Education (ADE), which requires students complete at least 23 units prior to graduation. Students complete regular coursework and exams and may take Advanced Placement (AP) courses and exams with the opportunity to receive college credit.

The faculty includes art teacher Roger Darren High who was named Secondary Art Teacher of the Year by the Arkansas Art Educators.[11]

Athletics

[edit]

The Star City High School athletic emblem (mascot) is the Bulldog with blue and white serving as the school colors.

The Star City Bulldogs compete in interscholastic activities within the 4A Classification administered by the Arkansas Activities Association. The Bulldogs play within the 4A Region 8 Conference. Star City participates in football, golf (boys/girls), basketball (boys/girls), cross country (boys/girls), cheer, soccer (boys/girls), baseball, fastpitch softball, tennis (boys/girls), track and field (boys/girls).[2]
