Pulaski Community School District history

In 1965, the K-8 elementary school built on West Green Bay Street became overcrowded, so a new K-8 elementary school was constructed on South St Augustine Street and was named Glenbrook School.

An addition to this school was built in 1968.

In October 1969, administration of the school was transferred to the Arkansas Board of Vocational Education and the school was named Pulaski Vocational Technical School.

In 1970, Joswick retired and he was succeeded by John Wigman as superintendent of schools.

Thus, in 1975, Glenbrook School was converted to Pulaski High School with the addition of more classrooms, shop areas, an auditorium, a large gymnasium, and a swimming pool.

Pulaski Vo-Tech moved from 14th and Scott streets in Little Rock to its present location in January 1976.

In 1981, another K-8 school was needed, so Sunnyside School was built in the northeastern section of the school district.

When the Arkansas General Assembly created the Arkansas Technical and Community College System in 1991, Pulaski Technical College was created along with 12 other technical colleges under the coordination of the Arkansas Board of Higher Education.

As the student enrollment continued to grow, a referendum was passed in 1998 to construct a new Pulaski High School and to convert the existing Pulaski High School to the Pulaski Community Middle School.
