✨ Lighting the way to success! ✨
Our CRES 3rd graders are shining bright as they prepare for the ATLAS test—using flashlights to “spot” important skills and review key concepts in a fun and engaging way! 🔦📚
We love seeing their enthusiasm, focus, and determination. They are working hard and it shows…we know they’re going to do amazing things! 🩶🦅
Bring on Tuesday! 💪
Mrs. Dee’s Kindergarten class recently explored the life cycle of chickens in a hands-on and memorable way by incubating and hatching our very own chicks! Students learned about each stage of development leading up to hatching, and they were thrilled to observe the process up close. After the chicks arrived, we enjoyed listening to their cheerful chirps and watching them grow.
This was an incredible learning experience for our class, and we are so grateful to Charlotte Wiles and Farm Bureau for giving us the opportunity through their Egg Hatching Grant!

Behind every school day is someone making a hundred things happen at once—and for us at CRHS, that’s our incredible administrative assistant/school secretary, Mrs. Renee Miller! We are so thankful for her dedication, patience, and all the things she does that keep everything running seamlessly.
Thank you, Mrs. Renee! We appreciate you more than words can say!
Thank you, Mrs. Renee! We appreciate you more than words can say!
We'd like to give a big shout out to Mrs. Yvonne Pate on Administrative Professionals' Day! The Umpire Campus couldn't operate without her. She is our go-to person for our daily issues, and she always helps with a smile and a laugh. Her job entails more than we can imagine, and we are so thankful for everything she does.
Happy Administrative Professionals Day to two of the very best—Mrs. Janelle and Mrs. Wanda!
We are incredibly grateful for all they do each and every day. Their dedication, kindness, and willingness to go above and beyond make a difference for our staff, our students, and our entire school community. From keeping everything running smoothly to always lending a helping hand with a smile, they are truly the heart of our front office.
We are so blessed to have them at CRES! They are appreciated more than words can express. 🩶🦅
⚾🥎 We recently had the honor of recognizing our baseball and softball seniors during their final home games of the season.

Once an eagle, always an eagle!

Tenth grader, Charlee Fortner, represented the Cossatot River School District at the Arkansas State Capitol with her Christmas ornament painting of the Cossatot River. Students across Arkansas had the opportunity to express their creativity, explore our shared history, and see their artistic voices valued at the state level. Each ornament, represented from different school districts across the state of Arkansas, reflected thoughtful instruction, student pride, and a dedication to promote meaningful, authentic arts experiences that go well beyond the classroom. Thank you, Charlee, for representing our school and Arkansas's past, present, and future.
