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.
This prestigious honor recognizes Arkansas high school student-athletes who excel both on the field and in the classroom. Only 13 student-athletes across the state receive this recognition each year, and Carter has earned his place among them.
Way to go, Carter — your hard work, dedication, and excellence make Pocahontas proud! 🏈❤
