[Brookland, Ark. February 6, 2025] – Haag Brown is thrilled to announce the Brookland School District has acquired 103 acres for a game-changing, master-planned expansion!
Recognized in 2022 as one of the fastest-growing school districts in Arkansas, Brookland saw an urgent need for more space to accommodate its surging enrollment. The district partnered with Haag Brown to assess potential sites and secure the most suitable location—prioritizing traffic flow, accessibility, and proximity to the existing campus.
Brookland Mayor Kenneth Jones emphasized the importance of this expansion, stating, “Brookland School is a vital part of the City of Brookland’s future.”
Following an extensive search, the district acquired 103 acres from long-time Brookland resident Tony Elmore. The purchase closed in two phases, with the first parcel secured in February 2024 and the final tract closed in January 2025.
The initial phase of development will focus on constructing a state-of-the-art intermediate school, designed to foster an innovative and enriching learning environment for Brookland students.
The newly secured site, located along U.S. Highway 49 between AR-230 and Craighead 950 Road, sits just two miles northeast of the current campus. The district has engaged Nabholz Construction to lead the project’s development.
Haag Brown congratulates the Brookland School Board and Superintendent Brett Bunch for their leadership and dedication to shaping the district’s future. This strategic investment isn’t just about expansion – it’s about empowering students, strengthening the community, and shaping the future of Brookland for decades to come.
With this bold step, the district is laying the foundation for excellence in education and opportunity for generations to come.
