History Established in 1928, the original buildings of Conway High School served the surrounding community until new facilities were built in 1937 at the corner of Prince St and Davis St. A cafeteria was added in 1948 and a gymnasium in 1949. The cafeteria was demolished in 1961. A new high school campus, using a honeycomb pods system, was constructed in 1968 five blocks west of the original high school on Prince St. Due to student growth in the 1990s, a new junior high was built and the high school's student population was broken up, with 9th and 10th graders attending class at the original high school at Prince and Davis Streets, called the East Campus, while 11th and 12th graders attended class at the main campus, called the West Campus. In 2012 construction of a new high school began next to the old West Campus pods, and was completed in 2013. The pods buildings were then demolished. The new West Campus has 3 floors and 2100 students as of the 2015-16 school year. Academics Conway High School is accredited by the Arkansas Department of Education (ADE).
