Our Campus

Founded in 1953, our 22 acre campus sits at the edge of scenic Crowley’s Ridge in Paragould, AR.

Our main building contains both elementary and high school classrooms, an auditorium, a library, a cafeteria, and two gymnasiums. CRA is also home to PALS Preschool, which has its own small building and playground on campus.

On the grounds, you’ll find a crop of beautiful old pine trees, a picnic area, playgrounds, an outdoor basketball court, a track, disc golf course, and baseball field.

At CRA, we take the safety of our students, faculty, and staff very seriously. Doors stay locked during the school day. Visitors must be “buzzed in” through the video door system.

As a small school, the staff and faculty quickly becomes familiar with new student families. This level of familiarity allows CRA staff to know who should and should not be in the building at a given time.

We also have a newly installed gate at the entrance closest to the playgrounds. This measure was put into place to protect children playing outdoors.
