History
The Drew County School Board established the A and M Training School #5 as a laboratory school for the Arkansas Agricultural and Mechanical College (now the University of Arkansas at Monticello). In 1934, school district's name changed to Drew Central School District #5. Growth in both the school district and the college as well as a fire that had destroyed the school buildings contributed to a decision for the school district to become independent of the college. The college gave the school district a 99-year lease to a plot of land. In 1983, the district added Script error: No such module "convert". to the lease.[1]
Multiple districts consolidated into Drew Central.[1] In 1979, the Collins and Selma school districts dissolved, with portions of the students going to the Drew Central school district.[6] On July 1, 1990, the Wilmar School District was consolidated into the Drew Central School District.[7] As of 2017[update]Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters"., this was the latest such consolidation.[1]
