Changing With The Times School And Community -u -- Because of improvements in transpor- tation our small community of Fouke, has actually grown smaller in businesses We now have better transportation which allows us to make more trips to Texarkana. Twenty years ago, busi- nesses in Fouke included grocery stores, a barber shop, a beauty shop, a doctor's office, and a funeral home. There was even a jail. Most people had farms and logged for a living. Now many residents work for Cooper Tire, Red River. Plcoma, North American, Globe Union, and many other businesses. Many people prefer to drive into Texarkana to work so they can still live in our small yet well populated community. Fouke offers the advantages of country life, while it is still convenient to major shopping centers. Fouke has several organizations which work and strive together to better the community’s environment. Such organ- izations are Miller County Farmers’ Assocation, PTA, Volunteer Fire Depart- ment, Wild Life Association, and many others. Another reason for such an increase in Fouke's population is its school system. The enrollment in Fouke schools in 1966 was only 480. During this time our school included five school buildings. Six buildings have been added. Our enroll- ment now is growing with leaps and bounds and we have reached an enrollment of over 785. We lead the state in requirements for graduation, by requiring by 1988 a projected 26 credits for graduation The school day now includes seven periods. Each year our area continues to grow and change for the betterment of our school and community.
