🏫 You’re Invited: High School Tour Night 🏫
The Pocahontas School District invites our community to join us for a Public High School Tour on Monday, October 27, 2025, from 6:00–7:00 p.m.
This will be a drop-in style event, so feel free to come by anytime during that hour. Tour our current facilities, ask questions, and see firsthand the spaces where our students learn, grow, and lead each day.
We value transparency and community partnership — this tour is a great opportunity to learn more about our high school and the needs driving future facility planning.

When people think of a new school gym, they often think only of games and practices. But here in Pocahontas, our gym will be so much more than that.
Every year, between 9,100 and 10,300 students should fill that space — not for sports, but for the moments that truly define their school experience. It’s where we would celebrate achievements, gather for assemblies, sing and play in concerts, cheer at pep rallies, and watch seniors cross the stage at graduation. It’s where our students come together to belong.
Currently, our students’ choices are limited and experiences like senior awards, the athletic banquet and even prom are held at the elementary school. A new gym isn’t just about new floors or seats - it’s about belonging. It’s about giving our students and families a safe, welcoming space to create memories that last far beyond the final bell.

This 2025 proposal is more focused — with a smaller millage increase, less state funding, and higher construction costs than in previous years.
It reflects today’s financial realities while maintaining our commitment to facilities that meet student needs — including Redskin Assembly Hall, a new gymnasium, and updated academic spaces that ensure safety and opportunity for every student.
Because our community’s strength begins in our schools.

This week, our faculty and staff participated in an additional Capturing Kids’ Hearts Traction Visit — a time for reflection, growth, and continued learning focused on strengthening relationships and building positive school culture.
Through this visit, our team explored new strategies to connect with students, reinforce social contracts, and create classrooms where every child feels valued and heard. We’re proud of our staff’s commitment to continuous growth! ❤️

How School Construction Funding Really Works
Community members have asked important questions about how school construction is funded and why districts don’t simply “save up” for large projects.
These informational pieces outline the basic structure of school facility funding — including how local building funds, state partnership funds, and long-term bonds work together — and why rising construction costs make long-term saving alone challenging.
Our goal is to help the community understand how the facility funding mechanism works, not to advocate for or against any specific millage change. We appreciate your engagement and welcome your questions as we continue planning responsibly for the future of our schools.

What a match! 🎾
Kate Kazzee and Libby Rawls played their hearts out in a two-hour match against Warren that went down to the wire, falling just short 5–7 in both games. They finish as one of the top 16 4A teams in the state and ranked 6th in the tournament — an incredible accomplishment!

Science meets service! 🌿
Mrs. Vickrey’s AP Environmental Science students spent the day at Lake Charles State Park helping with the Keep Arkansas Beautiful cleanup and testing the lake’s water quality using tools from an Arkansas Game and Fish grant.
Their findings? A variety of macroinvertebrates that signal a healthy, thriving ecosystem!

Pocahontas School District currently has one of the lowest millage rates among surrounding districts.
Even with the proposed millage increase, our rate would remain competitive with neighboring schools while allowing us to build safer, more modern learning environments for our students.
An investment in education is an investment in our community’s future.
