White Hall School District (WHSD) is a public school district in northwest Jefferson County, Arkansas, United States. The district employs approximately 400 faculty members and staff to provide educational programs for students ranging from kindergarten through twelve grade. It currently serves more than 3,000 students. All schools in the White Hall School District are accredited by AdvancED (North Central Association of Colleges and Schools).
The district is headquartered in the Julius S. Brown Administration Building in White Hall. The district serves White Hall and a portion of Pine Bluff. The district boundaries include the Jefferson County Industrial Park.[2]
In addition to most of White Hall and portions of Pine Bluff, the district also serves Redfield.[3]
History
Jack Foster, a former alderman of the City of Pine Bluff, argued that the setup of the WHSD boundaries is preventing the Dollarway School District from getting necessary funding. The superintendent of WHSD, Larry Smith, stated that Foster's criticism was based on a misunderstanding as the state government had determined the school district boundaries, not the districts themselves.[2]
