Larry Dunn is Leading the Way in Texarkana USA

Meet Larry Dunn, Director of Magnet Programs and Enrollment for the Texarkana Arkansas School District—an 18-year public education veteran who is redefining what opportunity looks like for students in Texarkana.

Through the visionary work of Project Legacy, an $11.4 million federal magnet school grant, Mr. Dunn is bringing bold, innovative ideas to life. From launching themed magnet schools to introducing real-world learning experiences starting in kindergarten, this work is about more than programs—it’s about building a legacy of excellence.

But innovation doesn’t stop there. Larry Dunn is also leading the charge to modernize TASD’s enrollment process, rolling out a family-friendly platform that makes it easier than ever to choose high-quality education options. It’s all part of a larger vision: positioning TASD not just as a local choice—but as a national model of excellence.
