The New Mt. Pisgah School is a historic school building in rural White County, Arkansas. It is located northwest of Searcy, on the north side of Smith Road, east of Mt. Pisgah Road. It is a single story stone structure, with a hip roof pierced by dormers, and long eaves with exposed rafter ends. A segmented arch projects in front of the recessed main entrance. The school, now serving as a private residence, was built in 1938 with funding from the Works Progress Administration, and is one of the county's few surviving examples of a WPA school. [2]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992. [1]
