On September 19, 2024 a group of 20 Paragould High School gifted and talented students attended a St. Bernards robotics day competition. Our PSD students were provided with the opportunity to experience what it is like to use a surgical robot. We would like to congratulate our Paragould students and staff for winning the competition. We would also like to thank St. Bernards for allowing our students to be a part of this unforgettable experience. Go Rams!

Each year the Paragould Rams and Greene County Tech Eagles face off on the football field in a tradition called “Battle for the Bell”. The hosting team designs a T-shirt that is sold within the community and all proceeds go to a local charity of their choice. This year the Rams will host the Eagles on Friday, November 8th and proceeds from the sale of the t-shirts will be donated to TOGETHER WE FOSTER. The order form below has all of the information you need to place your order. While we may battle on the field, we join together off the field to make a difference within our community.
