(8/24) Congratulations to PHS seniors, Kara Best and Katlyn Mayes, for completing the Summer 2026 Rural Medical and Science Scholars Program - a 2 week residential summer program at Mississippi State University. Practical lab-based learning activities were integrated throughout the program to enhance knowledge and skills. Workshops pertaining to communication, team building/critical thinking, and study skills helped to launch their college careers. They each completed one health science college-level course for college credit and also took part in activities at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson.

Both Kara and Katlyn received full tuition scholarships to RMSS through the Toyota Wellspring Education Fund, which is administered by the CREATE Foundation. Way to go!

(8/20) Students in Mrs. Alley's and Mrs. Taylor's senior English classes are reading Animal Farm, by George Orwell. Today, they participated in the Build the Windmill Challenge; students worked together to build a functional windmill with limited supplies, but the rules of the challenge kept changing! Students reflected on one of Animal Farm's primary themes: Fairness.

(8/17) Some of Mrs. Nabors students went Gone Fishin' within the classroom! They practiced solving equations in a fun, interactive game that put their math skills to the test. During the activity, students used a foam Nerf blaster to “catch” fish displayed on the board. Each fish was worth a different number of points, with more challenging equations earning higher point values. After selecting their fish, students worked out the equations using Expo markers and erasers on their desks. This engaging activity gave students an opportunity to practice solving equations, problem-solving, and mathematical reasoning while adding a little friendly competition to the classroom. Students had fun “fishing” for points while strengthening an important Algebra skill!

(8/11) Pontotoc High School held a signing ceremony in honor of Noah Glover, Darrion Quinn, Evan Wray, and Edwin Tzib who will be attending the Bloom Neurodivergence Program at Itawamba Community College. Noah and Edwin are about to start Year 2 with Darrion and Evan gearing up for Year 1.
