🍎 Serving Up Something Special at De Queen Public Schools! 🐆

Our Food Service Department does so much more than serve meals—they find ways to make our students feel supported, celebrated, and cared for!

From bringing some fun to lunchtime with Pizza Daze to preparing and delivering after-school snacks for our student-athletes, our food service team is always going the extra mile for our Leopard Family.

September also brought a special celebration of culture as our kitchen staff prepared pozole and colorful Jell-O in recognition of Mexican Independence Day, sharing food, heritage, and tradition with our students.

And we can’t let the month go by without recognizing Chef Brad and our incredible food service staff for the creativity, hard work, and heart they bring to our schools every single day.

Take a look at the September Food Services Newsletter to see what they’ve been cooking up!

We appreciate our Food Service Department and all they do for our Leopard Family! 💛🖤🐆 #LeopardFamily #LeopardPride

De Queen Public Schools will dismiss early today due to the district-wide power outage. Power has not been restored, and School Drive remains completely closed due to downed power lines. Dismissal Information:

Car riders: Parents may begin picking up students at their school’s front office now. High school students should be picked up at the Junior High office due to the School Drive closure.

Student drivers: Students who drive themselves are being released now.

Bus riders: Buses will run at 9:30 AM to allow families time to make arrangements for someone to be home when students arrive.

Please use caution around the area and avoid School Drive. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to keep our students and families safe.

In the Life, Fitness, and Nutrition class, students recently discussed their favorite foods, food origins, and cultural traditions.
This group decided on Southern Fried Pork Chops—and to make the meal even more authentic to their cultural exploration, they took it a step further by making homemade milk gravy from scratch.
Some days, students might think they are just cooking, but the practical life skills they are learning in this class are things they will carry with them forever.
We are so thankful to be one of the schools that still offers Family and Consumer Sciences (FCS) courses—what many might remember as Home Ec!

Investing in Their Future!

Thanks to the De Queen Board of Education, every DHS sophomore will receive a voucher to take one national ACT test at no cost to the student. This $13,725 investment gives our students an important opportunity to gain testing experience, identify areas for growth, and work toward scores that can open doors to college admission and scholarships.

Counselors will help students register during the first month of school. We encourage each sophomore and their family to review the available ACT dates carefully and select the date that works best with the student’s schedule. Once registered, students should prepare, arrive ready, and make the most of this valuable opportunity! #LeopardFamily #LeopardPride

Our Engineering students got a firsthand look at what their future could hold! ⚙️📐 Former De Queen student Max Pinkerton returned to DHS as a guest speaker to share his experiences studying Engineering in college. He talked with students about what college-level Engineering courses are really like, what they can expect as they transition from high school to college, and some of the challenges and opportunities that come with pursuing an Engineering degree. We always love welcoming former Leopards back to share what they’ve learned and help our current students prepare for what comes next! 🐆🎓 #LeopardFamily

Day 1 of AP Statistics, and they’re already putting their observation skills to the test! 👃📊 Students participated in the “Smelling Parkinson’s” activity, based on the fascinating real-life story of a woman who discovered she could detect a distinct smell associated with Parkinson’s disease. Students used their own sense of smell to collect data, compare results, and begin thinking like statisticians. #LeopardFamily
