In 2005 construction was completed on a football/soccer stadium and fieldhouse. In 2004 a new Science and Technology Center opened on campus, housing science and technology classes for the High School. History 
Prior to August 26, 1957, the former Paragould district sent, via contract, high school-aged African-American children to Booker T. Washington High School in Jonesboro, Arkansas, which was operated by the Jonesboro School District. On that day the Jonesboro district's board of trustees ended the contract. The Northeast Arkansas School District was formed on July 1, 1985, by the merger of the former Paragould School District with the Oak Grove School District. On July 1, 1994, the Stanford School District merged into the Northeast Arkansas district. By 1997 the name of the new district became the Paragould district. See also
