History

On July 1, 1998, the former Humnoke School District consolidated with the Carlisle School District.^[4]

In 2007, the district proposed a property tax increase because it believed that the increase could help it build a new high school. An Arkansas state law passed in 2005 had the potential of helping Carlisle School District pay for a new high school.^[5]

• Carlisle High School, serving more than 350 students in grades 7 through 12.
