Pulaski Academy

PA is honored to be the first independent school in AR to be selected as an Arkansas Purple Star School. 💜

The Purple Star School Program recognizes K-12 and post-secondary schools that demonstrate a major commitment to serving military-connected students and families from the armed forces.

As a Purple Star School, PA has a designated staff member who acts as a military liaison for families, trains faculty on meeting the emotional and academic needs of military children, and hosts events recognizing military families.

It is an honor to serve military families, and we are grateful for our parents and alumni who have bravely served to protect our freedom. 🇺🇸

Congratulations to our own Juli Paddie on being named a finalist for the 2026 ANSAA Educator of the Year! 💙💛

As our teacher in the Early Childhood School, Juli inspires curiosity, creativity, and joyful learning every day.

We're so proud to see her recognized by the Arkansas Nonpublic School Accrediting Association. Join us in congratulating Juli on this well-deserved honor! 🎉🐻

Pulaski Academy honors the life and legacy of Cheryl Watts, whose 48 years of service shaped generations of students, families, faculty, and alumni.

Her influence extended far beyond those titles, inspiring countless students and leaving a lasting mark on our community.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to Cheryl’s family, friends, former students, and all who were fortunate to know her. Her legacy will continue to live on in the lives she touched and in the spirit of Pulaski Academy.
