History

In 1965 the Dallas County School District dissolved, with a portion of the students going to the Sparkman school district. [1]

By 2004 new laws were passed requiring school districts with enrollments below 350 to consolidate with other school districts. Sparkman was one of several districts that were unable to find another district willing to consolidate with it, so the Arkansas Board of Education was to forcibly consolidate it. [2] On July 1, 2004, it consolidated into the Harmony Grove School District of Camden. [3]
