Arkansas Scholars<br />
Arkansas Scholars is a program<br />
that gives students good reasons<br />
to do well in high school. Students<br />
are asked to meet a set <strong>of</strong> criteria<br />
that will prepare them for both<br />
the workplace and additional<br />
education after high school. The<br />
program is centered on reliability<br />
and citizenship for a broad range<br />
<strong>of</strong> students. Beginning in the<br />
9th grade, students are asked<br />
to participate in the program<br />
and will remain in the program<br />
through graduation as long as<br />
they meet a set <strong>of</strong> parameters<br />
based on attendance, curriculum<br />
completion, and average GPA.<br />
Sophomores and juniors take<br />
part in an incentive program in<br />
the spring and all graduating<br />
seniors are invited to attend, with<br />
their families, a banquet in their<br />
honor where they will receive<br />
their certificate <strong>of</strong> completion<br />
and transcript sticker. The key<br />
to success for this program<br />
is cooperation. Business and<br />
education leaders work together to<br />
deliver a clear, effective message to<br />
students.<br />
