Three upcoming seniors are spending a month of their summer attending Arkansas Governor's School! Located on the ATU campus, these Highlanders are delving deep into their strengths. Avery and Tobie are focusing on Natural Science and Cosmo is focusing on Music.
"AGS provides highly motivated, creative students with an intellectual atmosphere impossible to sustain in ordinary academic settings.

Hi! My name is Pricila Tapia. I am a proud 2020 alumna of the Eureka Springs School District. Growing up in Eureka Springs I am very familiar with the community. I feel very proud to say my father, Gerardo Tapia (Flaco), was the first Hispanic to arrive in Eureka Springs, AR, in 1991! He is the one person I admire the most. He has always taught me to work hard, dream big, and never give up! Therefore, I’m super excited to be joining Eureka Springs High School as a special education paraprofessional. I believe helping children and their families is one of the most rewarding jobs. I am looking forward to this upcoming school year as a Highlander again!
