Updated: January 7, 2009
There`s a large group of students, eager to start classes monday. More than 150 students started moving into the Arkansas School for Math and Sciences today. Moms and dads helped out, with other students, as they carried in their refrigerators, bedding, books and other comforts of home. The school`s like a college prep school, for academically advanced juniors and seniors. Dr. Janet Hugo said she`s proud of their students, "We`re able to get kids from the very smallest districts across the state and provide them with an educational opportunity that`s incomparable." It`s interesting to note that the school gives these kids a college prep education for less than one dollar a day per student. Last year, 117 graduates of the school, received eight million dollars in scholarship offers.
