The new school year brings a fresh start for students and faculty, and this year there is an added level of excitement at Arkansas School for Mathematics, Sciences and the Arts. 

Arkansas School for Mathematics, Sciences and the Arts announces its honor roll for the spring semester of the 2011-12 school year.

ASMSA graduate Brittany Cooper traveled 16 hours with a cat in her car to come home to Arkansas. The 2005 graduate is working on her master’s degree at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and was selected to serve as an apprentice at the Hot Springs Music Festival, June 3-16.

Arkansas School for Mathematics, Sciences and the Arts will host its 6th annual ASMSA/Cisco golf classic Friday, July 13 on the Park Course at Hot Springs Country Club. Proceeds from the tournament will go toward completing construction of the library in the new ASMSA Student Center. 

Arkansas School for Mathematics, Sciences and the Arts awarded diplomas to 93 seniors during its 18th commencement ceremony on May 26. This year’s seniors received acceptances to 85 colleges and universities and more than $10 million in scholarship offers. Eighty-five percent of the graduates chose to continue their educations at colleges in Arkansas. 

The University of Arkansas Board of Trustees voted May 24 to approve President Dr. Donald Bobbitt’s recommendation to hire Corey Alderdice as the new director of ASMSA.

Like many spring breakers, a group of ASMSA students headed south to the beach for their vacation. But, their itinerary didn’t include tanning, swimming and partying. They were going to spend their time studying marine life and habitats on the Gulf Coast. And, for some, it would be the first time they had ever seen the ocean.
