Parents, guardians, community members - mark your calendars for two upcoming events open to the public.
The first is a Mayoral Proclamation Ceremony on Friday, September 20, 2024 at 9:40am in the Paragould High School auditorium to kick-off the Arkansas College Application Campaign (ACAC). PHS is a registered ACAC host site, and we would enjoy having you on our campus for the signing ceremony and to encourage our students to pursue a post-secondary education whether it be through a trade school, community college, university, or enlisting in the Armed Forces.
The second is our AP Scholars Awards to be held on Monday, September 23rd. This is our time to recognize and celebrate the achievement of our students who qualified on 185 AP exams in the spring of 2024 and the faculty who made it possible. This will also be held in our high school auditorium and additional details are on the attached invitation.
The PJHS Beta Induction Monday was lots of fun! Students came up with October Service Project Proposals and presented them to the crowd. Parents and guests voted and the 8th Grade Service Project is our WINNER! Congratulations to all who were inducted.
