Armstrong's 100th
Armstrong Top 100 Program
In celebration of Armstrong’s 100th birthday, the Armstrong Top 100 Program allows students to vote for their favorite things creating Armstrong Top 100 Lists for everything from books to movies to athletes to food. This is a fun way for the students to participate directly in the centennial celebration. Starting in February, voting will take place monthly through the end of the school year and then again in September and October. The Top 100 lists will be posted online and around the school for all to enjoy. In addition, each month, one student will win a $50 gift card related to that month’s topic. Only current Armstrong students are eligible to enter and win. Students must vote to be eligible to win the gift card. The winning student’s teacher also will get a matching gift card.

Armstrong Generations
One of the many things that makes Armstrong a unique and special school is the number of students who have had multiple family members, throughout many generations, attend the school. As the first elementary school in Highland Park ISD, the school has a long history in the community and with the families that serve it. That long history is a key attribute of what makes a school more than just a place to learn but a place that is cherished and honored within the community. As part of the centennial celebration, we will be highlighting a few of the families that have contributed to Armstrong’s legacy – understanding what made Armstrong special in the past and what the students currently attending think make it special today.
