A big THANK YOU to the Randolph County Fair Board for stepping in and allowing PHS to use the fairgrounds during Friday’s Homecoming weather situation!
Having a safe, covered area for our Homecoming floats made a huge difference as we waited out the weather and adjusted plans for the parade.
We are incredibly grateful for community partners who are always willing to lend a hand when we need it. Thank you, Randolph County Fair Board, for helping us keep Homecoming moving!
Homecoming Week may have kept us busy, but we couldn’t let this one go unrecognized!
Last week was National Custodian Appreciation Day, and we’re taking a moment to celebrate the incredible custodians across Pocahontas School District!
They’re often working behind the scenes, but the difference they make is seen every single day. From keeping our schools clean and welcoming to helping wherever they’re needed, we’re incredibly thankful for all they do for our students and staff.
We appreciate our PSD custodians — today and every day! ❤️🤍
