Carlisle School District is a public school district based in Carlisle, Arkansas, United States. The school district encompasses 233.26 square miles (604.1 km2) of land[citation needed] in Lonoke County and Prairie County including all of the municipalities of Carlisle, Allport, and Humnoke.[2][3]

The mascot and athletic emblem for the schools is the Bison with black and gold serving as the schools' colors.[4] The varsity and junior varsity teams compete in the 2A Region 6 Conference as administered by the Arkansas Activities Association. The district and its schools are accredited by the Arkansas Department of Education (ADE).

History

[edit]

On July 1, 1998, the former Humnoke School District consolidated with the Carlisle School District.[5]

In 2007, the district proposed a property tax increase because it believed that the increase could help it build a new high school. An Arkansas state law passed in 2005 had the potential of helping Carlisle School District pay for a new high school.[6]

Schools

[edit]
  • Carlisle High School, serving more than 350 students in grades 7 through 12.
  • Carlisle Elementary School, serving more than 450 students in prekindergarten through grade 6.
