Lonoke High School
Lonoke High School is a nationally recognized and accredited public high school located in the rural community of Lonoke, Arkansas, United States. The school provides comprehensive secondary education for approximately 550 students each year in grades 9 through 12. It is one of four public high schools in Lonoke County, Arkansas, and the only high school administered by the Lonoke School District. History By 1879, the citizens of Lonoke collected $10,000 to supplement state funding to begin to create a free ten-month public school. In 1900, a massive school building (alleged to be the largest wooden-frame structure in the state, with its two stories and three wings) was built. That building was lost by fire in 1931, and a brick school was built that continues as the high school. The Lonoke Colored School began around 1878 with classes through the eighth grade. In 1945, the name became the George Washington Carver School when it expanded its curriculum through high school. The ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

It is part of the Little Rock–North Little Rock– Conway Metropolitan Statistical Area.

The official name of the city was originally Lone Oak. However, due to a misprint in the ''Lonoke Democrat'' newspaper, the town' ...

Public High Schools In Arkansas
In public relations and communication science, publics are groups of individual people, and the public (a.k.a. the general public) is the totality of such groupings. This is a different concept to the sociological concept of the ''Öffentlichkeit'' or public sphere. The concept of a public has also been defined in political science, psychology, marketing, and advertising. In public relations and communication science, it is one of the more ambiguous concepts in the field. Although it has definitions in the theory of the field that have been formulated from the early 20th century onwards, and suffered more recent years from being blurred, as a result of conflation of the idea of a public with the notions of audience, market segment, community, constituency, and stakeholder. Etymology and definitions The name "public" originates with the Latin '' publicus'' (also '' poplicus''), from ''populus'', to the English word 'populace', and in general denotes some mass population ("the p ...

Educational Institutions Established In 1879
Education is a purposeful activity directed at achieving certain aims, such as transmitting knowledge or fostering skills and character traits. These aims may include the development of understanding, rationality, kindness, and honesty. Various researchers emphasize the role of critical thinking in order to distinguish education from indoctrination. Some theorists require that education results in an improvement of the student while others prefer a value-neutral definition of the term. In a slightly different sense, education may also refer, not to the process, but to the product of this process: the mental states and dispositions possessed by educated people. Education originated as the transmission of cultural heritage from one generation to the next. Today, educational goals increasingly encompass new ideas such as the liberation of learners, skills needed for modern society, empathy, and complex vocational skills. Types of education are commonly divided into formal, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
