EMMET, Arkansas — Changes are coming to Emmet.

Hannah Hines, chief executive officer of Hines Trucking, Inc., talked about her plans for the Emmet community, starting with establishing a new school there. This was done at a picnic held at the pavilion at Firemen’s Park Tuesday, April 23, 2024. Hines said her passion is education and there’s no college prep here. She’s been working with Emmet Mayor Dale Booker on rebuilding the old Emmet school and hopes to be ready for class by August.

Along with running Hines Trucking, and recently buying the 67 Gas and Grill, Hines is also working on her doctorate of education leadership through Texas A&M in Texarkana. She wants to show area children how things work in real time. There will be several components to the school, which will be for students in grades 7-12. These could include an ag school, a debate team, mock trial program, fishing team, rodeo team along with other electives.
