Star City Schools - Home of the Bulldogs

🌟 STUDENT SPOTLIGHT 🌟 Today we’re shining the spotlight on Hayven Darough, an 11th grader at Star City School District! Hayven stays busy and involved all across campus. She’s a member of Beta Club, Cheer, Model UN, FBLA, HOSA, Student Council, Chamber Choir, and Spanish Club — talk about dedication! Whether she’s leading, performing, or collaborating with her teammates, Hayven brings positive energy and Bulldog pride to everything she does. Her favorite part about school is simple and heartfelt: coming to class each day, seeing her friends, and spending time with both classmates and teachers. That strong connection to her school community really shows in how active and engaged she is. This semester, Hayven has her eyes set on an important goal — passing math class — and we know her hard work and determination will help her get there. Keep pushing forward, Hayven! We’re proud of you and all you contribute to Star City! ⭐🐾

Today, SCHS participated in a Cardiac Emergency Response Drill to become a Heart-Safe School. A CPR mannequin was dropped on campus at a random location and staff had to respond as if it were a true cardiac arrest emergency. Staff responded quickly and were able to retrieve and use an AED in under 3 minutes which was the goal of the drill. An EASI ambulance arrived and EMTs were on the scene within minutes. Proud to be a Heart-Safe School! #bethebest

February is Heart Month! To kick it off, today, SCHS Seniors participated in Hands-Only CPR & Stop the Bleed Training. The trainings were led by Arkansas Children’s Hospital’s Project Adam Coordinator, Charles Wooley with help from EASI. Students were taught how to perform Hands-Only CPR, use an AED, apply a tourniquet, and pack a wound. #bethebest
