City Council Member, Gail King, proposed that the Des Arc High School's EAST classes work to create a design for the City of Des Arc to use as a logo. Students in almost every class jumped in and designed a variety of logos to use.

EAST is a student led program that gets kids involved in community projects and solving real problems. Students select their own problems to solve and work all year to create a solution using problem solving, community partners, and sophisticated technology.
After meeting with their community partner, they researched EAST programs that have completed similar projects. They found out Rison School District completed a project with their city to make a logo too. They talked with them and learned from their experiences.

The students' logo drafts were presented to the City Council and a plan was made to use an idea from one of the students. That draft was used as inspiration to create a logo that the city will use on our website, social media, letterhead, and other correspondence.
The City of Des Arc is very grateful for the Des Arc High School EAST Program, their teacher, Ali Cox, and the student who created the final logo, Kyra Hughes, for working so hard to design this logo for us.
