Current & former ESE Owls, what was your favorite day at ESE last year?
Evening Star strives to empower our students by teaching five core values: teamwork, integrity, growth, empathy, and enthusiasm. These core values were selected in 2019 based on input from families, students, staff members, former Evening Star students from the class of 1948, and community members. Our culture is deeply rooted in core values that shape the way we learn, grow, and interact with each other. These core values build our students’ character and foster an environment of respect, understanding, and high academic success. You feel it the moment you walk through our doors! As students learn to Soar Beyond Greatness using these core values, they will strive to “empower each other to be their best selves by soaring for the stars in every way” - our school’s mission. Evening Star is committed to continuing a legacy of excellence that impacts the world around us!
What is your favorite Evening Star memory?
As we begin our 5th year at Evening Star Elementary, we are excited to continue to build upon the incredible legacy of the original Evening Star School, which flourished for an impressive 64 years from 1884 to 1948. We value the partnerships we have formed with our school families and community to continue to honor this legacy. We are looking forward to continuing to create sweet memories with our students through our various school traditions.

This is what can happen when you have a big idea and you stay after it! More than a year ago, the students in Mr. Carter Coriell's class at Evening Star Elementary set out to make the month of May Bike Month in Arkansas.
