Pontotoc High School Home

(2/18) This week, PHS juniors dedicated time on Tuesday and Wednesday to prepare for the ACT. Students rotated through small-group sessions, where they focused on test-taking strategies and received targeted instruction for the English, Reading, and Math sections. Our juniors did a great job asking questions, taking notes, and actively participating in each lesson.

All juniors will take the ACT on Tuesday, February 24 at PHS.

(2/17) Congratulations to PHS Senior Rylen Mounce for representing PHS 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.

(2/11) On Tuesday, PHS ninth graders were welcomed at the Pontotoc Ridge Career and Technology Center to learn about the CTE courses offered there. Student ambassadors led tours throughout the campus, and students received a quick preview of the course from the instructors and current students. The students appreciated learning more about their options in different course pathways.
