Today, members of the Pocahontas School Board joined our administrative team — Dr. Arbuckle and Mr. Green, along with building principals — on a tour of each building in the district. This kind of hands-on leadership helps ensure our decision-makers see firsthand the daily experiences of students and staff.

We value their dedication to guiding our district forward and making choices that support the future of Pocahontas Schools.

Students in Mrs. Annie Williamson’s class recently showcased their culinary and academic skills during a hands-on baking lab. In an industrial kitchen setting, they prepared a variety of breakfast muffins while applying math concepts like measurement, fractions, and conversions.

Along the way, they also practiced important food safety procedures, gaining firsthand experience in how professional kitchens differ from home cooking environments.

We’re proud of the way our students are connecting classroom learning with real-world skills! 🌟

Bus Evacuation Drills & Safety Planning

This week, Pocahontas School District students and staff successfully completed bus evacuation drills with the support of Black River Technical College. We’re proud of our students, staff, and transportation team for their teamwork and focus on safety. A special thank-you also goes to our local safety agencies for assisting with these important drills and for their continued partnership in keeping our students safe.

As part of our planning, we want to remind families that if an emergency ever required us to relocate students, our official Parent/Student Reunification Site is:
Black River Technical College Randolph County Development Center Lobby – 1410 Hwy 304 East

Parents and guardians would be directed to this site for a safe and orderly student pick-up. Thank you to everyone who helps us make safety a top priority at PSD!
