Conway Public Schools

Based on 2025 performance, College Board has elevated Conway High School’s Honor Roll status from Bronze to Silver. Only 8% of school districts in Arkansas qualified for a Silver Honor Roll Rating.
At our April School Board meeting CHS Principal Dr. Worley highlighted this success and the hard work of a few of our AP instructors.

• CHS currently offers a total of  24 AP courses beginning in 10th grade. 

• We have 846  students signed up to take AP exams in May for 1, 689 tests. (This means  MOST of our students are taking more than 1 exam!) 

Mrs. Shannon Bowden- AP Biology→ 87 students took the exam with an average score of 3.56.  Arkansas had an average score of 2.53.

Mr. Cody Johnson- AP Language → 105 Exams taken with an average of 3.56. Arkansas had an average score of 2.66

Mrs. Nohora Tedford- AP Spanish Language → 12 students took the exam and scored an average of 4.13. Arkansas had an average score of 3.31. We have 37 students taking this exam this year. 

Mr. William Richardson- AP US History → 171 tests given with an average of 3.48 and Arkansas had an average of 2.58. 

Additionally, we highlighted Conway High’s School’s AP Honor Roll Recognition. In 2024, CHS was a Bronze school and we are pleased to announce that for the 2025 school year we have moved to the SILVER tier of recognition! 

• In the state of Arkansas 251 qualified to be considered for AP Honor Roll. 

• Only 49 schools in Arkansas earned a place on the AP School Honor Roll. 

Help us cheer on these amazing educators, the success of our students, and Conway High School as a whole for their tremendous overall accomplishments!

We celebrated our Unified Basketball teams 4 PEAT UNIFIED BASKETBALL STATE CHAMPIONSHIP! Unified Basketball creates an inclusive opportunity for special education students by promoting social connection through shared training and competition. Built on the principle of “training together and playing together,” Unified Basketball shows that sports can be a quick path to friendship, understanding, and belonging.

This year, our team won its FOURTH consecutive AAA state championship in Hot Springs. For the second year in a row, they faced a tough Bryant team and came out on top. We could not be more proud of our athletes for their hard work, dedication, and outstanding sportsmanship.

Our Unified team also took on members of the faculty in a staff-versus-students game and came away with the win. This event raised a great deal of money for our athletes and for the continued success of our program.

We are proud to recognize these students and coaches to celebrate all they have accomplished, both on and off the court!

CPSD Staff & Families,

We want to provide another follow-up regarding the image circulating on social media last night that contained a threatening message.

The Conway Police Department shared:
“At approximately 10:00 p.m., detectives with the Conway Police Department took a 13-year-old female Conway Student into custody in connection with reported threats made on social media.
The juvenile has been charged with Threatening to Commit an Act of Mass Violence on School Property, a Class C felony, and is currently being held at a juvenile detention center.
At this time, no other suspects are believed to be involved.
This incident remains under active investigation.
We appreciate the public’s cooperation and assistance throughout this investigation.”


School will be in session today. The safety and security of our students and staff remain our top priority.

We want to extend our sincere appreciation to the Conway Police Department and our School Resource Officers for their swift response and dedication in handling this situation. Their ability to act quickly and work thoroughly was instrumental in helping ensure the safety of our students and staff.

CPSD Families,

We want to provide a follow-up regarding the image circulating on social media that contains a threatening message.

At this time, there is no new information regarding the credibility or origin of the message. The matter remains under active investigation by local law enforcement, and we are continuing to work closely with them.

School will be in session tomorrow, and we will continue to be vigilant with all our safety measures across all campuses. The safety and security of our students and staff remain our top priority.

We understand that families may have concerns, and we respect each parent/guardian's decision regarding attendance. As always, please make the decision that is best for your student and your family.

We will continue to monitor the situation closely and share updates as appropriate.

Thank you for your continued trust and partnership.
