We're excited to welcome the newest members of the Pocahontas Junior High School team! As the new school year approaches, we've welcomed new faces while also celebrating several internal staff transitions across the district. Today, we're recognizing those who are joining Pocahontas School District. We're glad you're here!
Welcome to the Redskin family! ❤️
Welcome to the Redskin family! ❤️
We are proud to celebrate two major accomplishments that reflect our district's commitment to serving students and families.
Beginning with the 2026–2027 school year, every Pocahontas School District student will receive FREE breakfast and FREE lunch through Provision 2. This achievement helps ensure every student has access to nutritious meals each school day while providing meaningful support to families across our district. Families will still be asked to complete a meal application, as these applications are critical to supporting district funding and the long-term success of the program.
That commitment to serving our community extends well beyond the school year. This summer, our Child Nutrition Department provided 9,873 meals to children throughout our community during 28 days of service, including 4,681 breakfasts and 5,192 lunches. On average, the team served approximately 353 meals each day, ensuring children continued to have access to healthy, nutritious meals while school was out of session.
These accomplishments are a testament to the dedication, compassion, and hard work of our Child Nutrition Department. Thank you to our cafeteria staff for the care you show our students and community each and every day.

The Pocahontas Redskin Shooting Team recently competed in the Arkansas Farm Bureau Foundation FFA/4-H Trap Shoot. The team posted a score of 212 out of 250, earning a 14th-place finish out of 40 teams from across the state.
The team represented Pocahontas well and continues to show growth and improvement throughout its inaugural season. Competing against strong teams from across Arkansas provided valuable experience and an opportunity for our students to demonstrate their marksmanship, safety skills, and sportsmanship.
The Pocahontas Shooting Team would like to thank Randolph County Farm Bureau and Baltz Feed Co. for their generous support of our program. Their sponsorship helps provide opportunities for our students to participate in competitions and continue developing their skills.
