The Sunshine School began in 1964 and was held in a converted Army barracks on land leased from Searcy Public Schools. In August 2011, the school re-located to a new, up-to-date and spacious facility with 12 classrooms, a large multi-purpose room, several therapy rooms, as well as office and conference room space. 

The Sunshine School is in its 51st year of operations and serves disabled persons of all ages at no cost to their families. The school is a non-profit organization funded by state and federal monies and tuition form public schools. Contributions from United Way of White County are used as a match to generate these funds and to augment services. 

Currently, students being served are from Searcy, Augusta, Pangburn, Kensett, Des Arc, Pleasant Plains, Beebe, Judsonia, Hazen, Bradford, Riverview and McCrory. These towns are located in White, Woodruff, Independence and Prairie counties.
