Academics Plus Charter Schools recently held a special ceremony to honor service anniversaries of 67 employees with certificates or plaques for 5 years, 10 years and 15 years. This was the first time employees have received official recognition for their service to the school system.  It is planned that this will become an annual event. 

Retired NFL referee Walt Coleman was the guest speaker at the event and kicked off the morning with a motivational speech that reminded teachers and staff that they "are important" and "stuff happens."  He used examples of his experience as a referee who could do no right in the eyes of many radical NFL fans.  

Academics Plus has 185 employees with four campuses in Maumelle and Scott.
