Lieutenant Michael Barnes from the De Queen Police Department engaged with De Queen Middle School students this week, discussing important topics like cyber safety, the risks of vaping, and the impact of social media bullying. Awareness is key to a safer future.


Teachers and students at De Queen Middle School proudly showed their school spirit today by participating in Pink Out Day, wearing pink to raise awareness and show support for breast cancer awareness.







We want to extend a huge shout out to our amazing custodians! Your hard work keeps our school clean and safe every day. Thank you for all you do!

Responsible – following school rules and taking ownership of their actions
Cooperative – working well with others and helping create a positive school environment
These students stand out by helping others, taking care of the school, and setting a great example for their peers.
