WARREN, Ark. — Students in the Warren Middle School and Warren High School Enrichment Program recently enjoyed a trip to the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff (UAPB), where they experienced college life, supported the Golden Lions, and connected with several individuals who have ties to the Warren School District.
During the visit, students toured the UAPB campus, gaining an opportunity to explore the university and learn more about the college experience. The group also cheered on the Golden Lions and enjoyed a performance by UAPB’s Marching Musical Machine of the Mid-South, commonly known as M4.
A highlight of the trip was the opportunity to visit with two individuals who have strong connections to Warren.
Students met with former Warren School District Superintendent Andrew Tolbert, who served the district from 2000 to 2013, as well as UAPB Head Football Coach Alonzo Hampton, a 1991 Warren High School graduate and former Lumberjack assistant football coach.
Both Tolbert and Hampton took time to speak with the students before the Golden Lions went on to secure a victory.
The experience gave students an opportunity to see former members of the Warren school community continuing to make an impact beyond their hometown.
Warren High School shared highlights of the visit in a November 5 social media post, expressing appreciation for the opportunity to reconnect students with individuals who remain invested in the district.
“It’s always special to see those with ties to Warren investing their time in our students. Once a Lumberjack, always a Lumberjack!” the school stated.
The trip combined educational opportunities, school spirit, and a reminder of the lasting connections between Warren’s schools and their graduates.
