DeQueen is a beautiful K-5th grade multi-cultural elementary campus where all children are motivated to excellence in their own ability. Students, staff and parents believe they are the BEST and are encouraged each day with a daily pledge to excel to and maintain this ideal. DeQueen took the lead in school uniforms and After School programs long before they were mandatory in The District because of its vision for success for all children. The school slogan then was, " All Children Can Learn and All Children Can Get Smart!!" As times changed the belief is still there for the Veteran teachers who have seen DeQueen move from a worn-out, mold infested facility....to temp portables...to the first rebuilt facility in 2005. It's still the pride of the community and home to more than 500 beautiful, successful and ambitious little people!! The Staff is rebuilding this year, however, the pride and dedication to the success of our children simply continues as in past generations. Motivators for success come from community support, Superintendent & Board, supervisors, Lead Principal Gloston, her team, teachers and students encouraging each other to succeed. Learning NEVER stops at DeQueen.
