Students from Cossatot River High School’s EAST class recently took a field trip to Little Rock Central High School and learned a valuable history lesson in the process. Little Rock Central High School is known for the role it played in the desegregation of public schools in the United States.

Board of Education, to include African-Americans in all public schools.
