Starting Monday, we will engage in a bus evacuation and reunification drill for all students and staff. This drill requires relocating students off campus to a safe location. We will have buses transporting students from campus to BRTC mid-morning several days next week. We are sharing this information so all members of our community are aware that this is a planned and coordinated drill and there is no real emergency. As always, thank you for your support.

Recently, Superintendent Dr. Lance Arbuckle had the opportunity to meet with the Pocahontas Ministerial Alliance to share information about the 2025 Millage Campaign. We are grateful for the chance to provide clear information and answer questions as we continue working to keep our community informed.

👉 Don’t forget: our first public informational meeting will be held on Tuesday, September 9 at 6:00 PM at the Pocahontas Community Center.
