The Van Buren School District proudly partners with the Van Buren Chamber of Commerce in promoting Arkansas Scholars.

An initiative of the Arkansas Business & Education Alliance, the program is designed to help foster a strong work ethic and teach students the value of good attendance. Graduates who receive the Arkansas Scholars distinction receive a seal on their diploma demonstrating to employers and institutions of higher learning that the student is a skilled and qualified candidate. VBSD and the Chamber also hold a special recognition ceremony in the spring to honor all Arkansas Scholars graduates.
