We are proud to announce that Perryville High School earned School of Conservation Leadership (SoCL) status through the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission today, following a year-long application process.
The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission’s SoCL program is designed to increase conservation education, outdoor learning, and outdoor recreation opportunities for students across the state while increasing awareness of conservation careers in hopes of inspiring the next generation of conservation professionals. SoCL applicants must complete an application process that is evaluated using thirteen separate achievement markers. These markers were verified by AGFC staff through an on-site visit on May 15th and through the submission of evidence throughout the academic year.
By earning the designation, Perryville High School is better positioned to access resources that directly benefit students and support educators as they work to emphasize outdoor education and conservation within their curriculum across all grade levels and content areas. This designation supports Perryville High School’s continued efforts to offer programs that engage all learners and support their areas of interest.
In total, 65 schools statewide participated in the School of Conservation Leadership application process, with 31 schools earning SoCL designation. In addition to the three-year SoCL designation, Perryville High School has been awarded $1,000 worth of outdoor education equipment from the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission.
Thank you to Mrs. Amanda Young and Mrs. Nicole Strecker for their work in helping prepare our SoCL application and to the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission for recognizing our efforts to help students at Perryville High School.
