Superintendent's Vision Statement

Little Rock Central High School National Historic Site strives to:

• provide education and interpretation about the struggle to desegregate Central High School and the role of these events as a catalyst for the Civil Rights Movement
• emphasize the stories of citizens exercising their fundamental human rights in pursuit of justice and equality in a land of promise and democracy that remain as valid today as they were in 1957
• preserve and protect the tangible and intangible (emotional and social) resources associated with those stories

 

• Find statistics on park visitation and economic impact.
• Review the superintendent's compendium and other park laws and policies.
