Today, our district responded to a false emergency report, often referred to as a “swatting” call. These types of calls are made to create confusion and prompt a law enforcement response.
Our School Resource Officers and local police were notified immediately and worked closely with school officials to assess the situation. It was quickly determined that the report was not credible, and at no point were students or staff in danger.
We are grateful for the swift and coordinated response of our law enforcement partners and the professionalism of our school teams.
The safety of our students and staff remains our highest priority, and we appreciate the continued support of our community.
It’s a busy week for Pocahontas Athletics!

For Ashlyn, Pocahontas isn’t just where she works—it’s where her story began. ❤️
As a proud Pocahontas High School graduate, returning to teach feels like coming full circle. From her days as a student involved in sports and clubs to now leading her own classroom, she’s experienced firsthand what makes this district so special.
Now, alongside her husband, Tyler Lingo—who also teaches and coaches here—Pocahontas truly feels like home both inside and outside the classroom.
That’s what sets Pocahontas School District apart.
Our staff pour into students, create meaningful connections, and prepare them with real-life skills that go far beyond the classroom.
📝 School Choice Deadline: June 1
Choose opportunity. Choose Pocahontas. Choose to be a Redskin.
