Slavery and lack of documents have kept Blacks from knowing their family’s full story. But the Black Genealogy movement is working to change that.

Carl Stuart Middle School students were treated to a special assembly and a movie this week as a reward for their efforts in fundraising. Student Council members designed several small programs for the week that the student body and staff would pay to participate in. All proceeds were voted to be designated to the Mid-South Chapter of Make-A-Wish Foundation.
An advertisement from the Mount Vernon-Enola Board of Education and Administration congratulated the faculty, staff and students of the school district for their excellence in education “as evidenced by the most recent EOC Algebra and Geometry results.” The Office for Education Policy recently analyzed the percent of students in each school scoring proficient and advanced on the Arkansas End of Course (EOC) exams for all schools in Arkansas. Mount Vernon-Enola High School was the top performing high school in the state for Geometry and the fourth highest for Algebra.
