We are honored to host our 2nd Annual Engaging Conversations.
As we honor the legacy of Congressman John Lewis, we will focus on the importance of public service through advocacy.
Meet Engaging Conversation Panelist Tamara L. Bates.
Ms. Bates is a captivating community voice who speaks out on social responsibility and equity across the United States' southern region. She is an organizer at heart who is not shy when addressing social justice issues and flawed policies that impact everyday people.
Bates is a proud graduate of Philander Smith College in Little Rock, Arkansas, where she obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology. An organizer with a love for community development, Bates has worked in politics on the local, state, and federal levels. In 2016, she contributed to the outreach efforts to support the Democratic Party of Florida's data-driven and metrics-based program to mobilize voters. Also, she served as Co-Director for Woke Vote during the historic Senate runoff victory election in Georgia. After a successful election in Georgia, Bates moved home to work for the Tennessee Democratic Party, as Director of Community Engagement.
Bates is currently a graduate student at the University of Arkansas Clinton School of Public Service in Little Rock, Arkansas. She is a proud member of one of the nation's leading women's organizations, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. Bates is known for being in the intersection of social justice and bold in her choice of fashion.

'Tis the Season.
Mr. Wendell Scales, Deputy Director of Innovation is doing one of the many things he does best… representing Arkansas Lighthouse! He’s at the YASS Prize Awards ceremony in New York, NY preparing to bring home the BIG prize. He spoke to the audience about Apprenticeships and Skills-Based Models in Education, specifically highlighting Agri-STEM, a focus at ARLCS. Wish him luck!
What a difference a year makes!
BIG things are brewing at Arkansas Lighthouse and we can’t wait to share!
We were honored to participate in the 2nd Annual YASS Prize Accelerator and Pitch contest this week in Miami, FL.
The relationships, collaborations, and partnerships formed among individuals and organizations with Sustainable, Transformational, Outstanding, Permissionless initiatives within the education space is game changing. Arkansas Lighthouse is happy to be apart of this movement and conversation.
Stay tuned and watch what happens.
Keep SHINING!

At Arkansas Lighthouse Charter Schools
we understand the impact of mentorship and hosted our inaugural Junior MANRRS Leadership Institute at The Vines Center (Arkansas 4-H Center), sponsored by Pulaski County Youth Services.
As the state's first and only chapter, we haven't wasted time keeping our commitment to developing the next generation of agriculture and STEM professionals.
This year's institute focused on soft skill development. Over 70 7th and 8th graders participated in the Arkansas 4-H ExCEL Program led by Taylor Knox, Affiliated with U of A Division of Agriculture Research and Extension.
Key findings:
Nearly $1000 was awarded to scholars who were recognized for their leadership and engagement during our institute.
1) Team building is an essential part of success.
2) We are always working through uncontrollable conditions (weather) but must remain steadfast and keep working as a team.
3) Mentorships can transform your life. The connections = relationships
4) It becomes an issue of national security if Arkansas talent, especially if tech talent, isn't developed. Our state economy and job creation depend on opportunities not being outsourced.
We are cultivating sustainable pathways.
To all who served, we are thankful for your service.
Happy Veterans Day
We will be hosting families who want to eat lunch at school with their scholar(s) on Friday, November 18th! If you are interested in coming to the school next Friday, the day before our break, to eat with your scholar(s) for lunch, please see the flyer and RSVP!!!
