Pontotoc High School Home

(4/22) Congratulations to Emery McIntyre for being named Valedictorian and to Zach Todd and Kiley Warren for being named Salutatorians for the Pontotoc High School Class of 2026!

(4/22) This spring, sixteen Pontotoc High School students are taking part in Frank K. Spain Internships through the Frank K. Spain Foundation at CREATE. Students work 100 hours at local businesses, industries and organizations to gain valuable work experience in fields which match both their aptitudes and interests.  On April 20th, at ICC Belden, PHS interns presented slideshows concerning the work they have done over this semester.  PHS is proud of these students and so appreciative of our community partners who extend students' learning outside the walls of the school.

(4/22) Pontotoc City School poetry winners converged at the Toyota Mississippi Experience Center in Blue Springs to celebrate and share their nature poems in a building that renews rainwater to flush toilets, uses solar panels to provide electricity, and employs other sustainable concepts that prioritize nature and leaving a smaller footprint.

(4/21) Congratulations to the English II and Algebra I teachers and students for earning a PREPS Achievement Award for the 2024-2025 school year. PHS is proud of their hard work and dedication and celebrates this achievement with them!

This statewide recognition from the Program of Research and Evaluation for Public School honors schools showing exceptional student growth and academic progress. @preps
