The WCHS Girls Basketball Team and Beta Club were recently introduced to the new “Smart Drive” program. Ms. Dequanita Lancelin, Beta Club sponsor, joined students as they learned more about the program and the resources available to support safe and responsible choices.
The program will be conducted by The Center for Healing Hearts and Spirits, a community partner of the Watson Chapel School District Prevention Recovery Education Program (PREP).

Coleman Elementary extends a special thank you to Alderman Steve Mays and Officer Justice Fisher, a proud Coleman graduate, for looking out for our school community!
After concerns were shared about nearby potholes, Alderman Mays quickly contacted the Pine Bluff Street Department. Mr. Brandon and Mr. Wade responded and filled several potholes, helping make travel safer for our students, families, and staff.
Thank you for your service and continued support of Coleman Elementary! 💛🖤

Watson Chapel School District acknowledges the recently released school and district letter grades and the responsibility that comes with these accountability measures.
While letter grades provide an important snapshot of performance, they represent only one measure of our district’s progress. They do not fully reflect the continued growth, commitment, and hard work of our students, educators, staff, families, and school community.
We remain focused on accountability, continuous improvement, and ensuring every student has the opportunity to succeed.
