Des Arc School District was invited to share our successes and challenges at the 2024 PEER Summer Summit held at ASU Beebe on Wednesday, July 16. PEER stands for Promoting Educator Effectiveness in Rural Arkansas. Stacy Childers, Literacy Coach and Jamie Eans, Math Coach did an amazing job representing Des Arc Schools. Two former Des Arc ladies, Brandi Williams and Brandi Hardcastle are directors in the PEER program. Brandi Williams is the daughter of Roy and Betty Thurmond. Brandi Hardcastle is a former kindergarten teacher in Des Arc and the daughter of 1970 graduate Frank Addison.
