Our district
At Cutter Morning Star, learning is about more than academics —
it is about belonging.
Welcome, families
Whether you’re choosing a school or checking in on the week, we’re glad you’re here.
At Cutter Morning Star, school feels personal. Families know our staff, students have room to grow, and our buildings stay connected through academics, athletics, fine arts, service, and everyday Eagle pride. If you’re exploring School Choice, we’ll help you understand the process and plan a visit. If you’re already part of CMS, this is your starting point for calendars, updates, resources, and the people who can help.
From our community
What families and students say about CMS.
Our school is small, but the teachers, staff and students are amazing. Our children have attended Cutter Morning Star School District since 2013. The support we have received from our teachers and staff in that time is above par. Even with smaller resources, our teachers manage to go above and beyond everyday.
My experience at Cutter Morning Star has been amazing and fun. The culture is amazing and everyone is nice. I haven’t really had a bad experience at Cutter.
I like this school because I have been here 11 years and I am graduating this year. The teachers are nice and they help you with anything you need, even the teachers who do not have you as a student. If you have a question, they will help you. I could not imagine myself going to any other school or moving away from here.

I was born and raised in Hot Springs, Arkansas so it’s home. We have so many sports events and clubs you can join. Teachers try to involve any and every student in whatever they can to try and get them to be more social. We also have a program connected with the technical center of National Park College where juniors and seniors can go and take a class there for their junior and senior year and if they stay in the same class there both years, they get the National Park Promise Scholarship which is a scholarship that pays for your 2 years at National Park after you graduate but you are not committed to going there after graduation. You are allowed to go elsewhere.
Cutter-Morning Star High School is a successful upcoming school, and I love that it is growing with each passing year. I am glad that I chose to come here.
