📸 Honoring Decades of Redskin Pride 📸
New decorative screens at Schoonover Stadium now showcase a visual walk through Redskin football history — beginning with the early years of the 1920s–1960s and continuing through the 1970s. ❤️🤍
Each panel captures unforgettable moments, proud traditions, and the community spirit that has filled our stands for generations. From vintage black-and-white photos to snapshots of Friday nights under the lights, these images remind us that Redskin pride runs deep. 🏈
Be sure to take a look next time you’re at the stadium — and stay tuned! Additional screens featuring more decades of Pocahontas football history are coming soon.
Congratulations to our PHS Marching Redskins for qualifying for the State Marching Assessment! 🥁
They’ll represent Pocahontas at War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock on November 3rd.
We’re so proud of their hard work, dedication, and Redskin pride—let’s cheer them on as they prepare for the big stage!

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.

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!
