Des Arc High School's 2025-2026 Teacher of the Year, Mrs. Krissy Covington!

Des Arc High School families,

We’re gearing up for ATLAS Summative Testing next week, and we’re excited to see our students show what they’ve learned! Students in grades 7–10 will test Monday through Thursday on the following schedule:

• Monday – Writing
• Tuesday – Math
• Wednesday – Science
• Thursday – Reading

Friday we will be on a regular bell schedule for students in grades 7-10 and we will be using that day for make-up testing. We encourage all students to come each day well-rested, confident, and ready to do their best. A good night’s sleep and a healthy breakfast can go a long way in helping students stay focused and perform at their highest level.

After testing each day, students will have the chance to unwind and have some fun with games and Fun Day activities as a celebration of their hard work!

Please note: Juniors who are not enrolled in AP courses are not required to attend school next week.

Thank you for your continued support—we appreciate all you do to help our students succeed!

Billy Paschal Jr.
High School Principal
