Wanting to meet the needs of the students of Pea Ridge -- students from every economic strata, with various career goals and of each gender -- school officials are putting in many hours to prepare the foundation for the conversion charter school proposed for Pea Ridge High School.
Providing a simulated workplace, the school would have six pathways -- health information, logistics managment, sales communication/broadcasting, welding and precious metals, supply/chain/demand and industrial technology, Rick Neal, school superintendent, said.
Neal plans to present his vision to the Arkansas State Department of Education in mid-January and, if the school is approved, have it open for the 2014-2015 school year.
