the TASD village is rich in talent and strength, all working together to enhance the lives of their students. The mission of TASD is to empower all students to realize their full potential, and to be a school district where educators inspire, leaders are developed, and every goal is achieved. In the effort to realize those goals, the brand-new Arkansas Middle School opened in 2021. The new school houses sixth, seventh and eighth-grade students and is the first new campus built in the district in decades. The $26 million dollar project began in 2017. The new middle school is 125,000 square feet and sits on 31 acres. The new campus will house 1,000 students and is equipped with state-of-the-art science and computer labs, two band halls, two gymnasiums, and much more. It’s an exciting time to be part of the Texarkana Arkansas School District’s Razorback family!
