3/20/25: Congratulations to Coach Dixon for winning the JumpStart Sweepstakes giveaway. He was awarded $500 for implementing their JumpStart BellRingers in his classroom and providing feedback to the company about the bellringers. These 5-minute lessons are a great way to start the day and ensure ACT standards are introduced and regularly practiced.

3/18/25: Congratulations to PHS Senior Leah Zinn for taking part in Secretary of State Michael Watson's Student Ambassador Program this school year. This is a program between high school seniors, the Secretary of State's Office, and Secretary of State Michael Watson. Through the program students have regular interactions with leaders from the Secretary of State's Office, Mississippi Legislature, and various other state and local officials. Students who complete the program receive a first-hand account of state government in action, establish a network of like-minded peers from across the state, and experience the processes that ensure Mississippi is a better place for their generation and generations to come.

3/7/25: Last week, our freshmen had the exciting opportunity to visit the Pontotoc Ridge Career and Technology Center to explore the various career pathways available to them in the coming years. The field trip provided students with a firsthand look at the programs offered, helping them make informed decisions about their high school schedules and potential career paths.
