Our Have a Heart Wish-A-Thon is happening now at the four-way stop at N. Park & Pyburn!
Our students and staff are out there representing Pocahontas School District with big hearts and a shared goal — helping grant life-changing wishes through Make-A-Wish.
If you’re out and about today, consider driving by, giving a honk, or making a donation. Every dollar makes a difference.
Thank you for always showing up for our kids and our community. 💫

🎉 National School Counseling Week 🎉
This week, we’re celebrating the incredible school counselors who support our students every single day — academically, socially, and emotionally.
Please join us in thanking Bridget Phelps, Cynthia Oaks, Kalob Welch, Lindsay Stewart, and Charla Jones for their dedication, compassion, and commitment to helping our students succeed.
Good news! Our maintenance and custodial crews have worked diligently to clear ice from roofs, overhangs, parking lots, and walkways. The campus is safe and ready to welcome students back.
School will be in session tomorrow, Tuesday, February 3.
We are incredibly grateful to our maintenance and custodial team for their dedication and hard work in ensuring our buildings are safe for students and staff. Their commitment to our school community does not go unnoticed.
We look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow!
While travel conditions have improved, ice remains on parts of our parking lots and school buildings, including roofs and overhangs. With temperatures expected to rise tomorrow, falling ice poses a risk to students and staff during arrival, dismissal, and outdoor transitions.
Out of an abundance of caution, school will be closed tomorrow while custodial & maintenance crews continue to address these conditions. Student safety is always our top priority, and we appreciate your understanding as we take the necessary steps to ensure a safe return.
