West Memphis School District
West Memphis School District (WMSD) is a public school district serving West Memphis and surrounding Crittenden County communities in eastern Arkansas, just across the Mississippi River from Memphis, Tennessee. Operating multiple elementary campuses alongside Wonder Junior High, West Junior High, and The Academies of West Memphis (home of the Blue Devils), the district educates roughly 4,800+ Pre-K–12 students across career-themed academies, arts, and athletics. Anchored in a close-knit delta community with easy access to the greater Memphis metro area, WMSD pairs hands-on career-technical pathways with strong local Blue Devil pride.
