A number of students in Robert Morehead Middle School's EAST program received awards for making submissions to the ArcGIS Mapping Competition. RMMS EAST Lab facilitator is Coach James Jones.The students that received awards for their submissions are 9th grader Ariah Redix (pictured left) and Gabriel Gipson whose entries will now be submitted for national competition. ArkGis is a cloud-based mapping and analysis solution, used to make maps, analyze data and to share and collaborate. Maps submitted had to be an original creation of each student or team and focus on an Arkansas-based theme, and address an issue or issues that span the state, highlight individual counties, cities or towns. We are so proud of all the students that submitted projects for this event.

The ACT Aspire test is a powerful college & career readiness tool to help students and their parents monitor progress toward a successful ACT test from third grade through tenth grade. According to OEP, growth is the best indicator of the positive impact a district is having on students. Outstanding Educational Performance awards were based on the 2018 content growth score calculated by the Arkansas Department of Education. These growth scores reflect how much high school students in the district improved from 2017, compared to how much they were expected to grow considering prior achievement.
