Paragould High School

Juniors and guardians, On Monday, Feb. 3, during RTI, juniors will receive an ACT opt in form. Every student who wants their free March 11 ACT score sent to a college/trade school or count in their superscore and show in their ACT account, needs to have this opt in form on file with Mrs. Horn by the end of February. Not turning it in does NOT get you out of taking the test on March 11. If you do not turn it in, you will take the test for the state to have a score on file, but you will have to either pay to have it sent to colleges/trade schools, or you will need to retake it for a reportable score. Guardians, please remind your junior to give you the form Monday evening to sign and return it to Mrs. Horn in the counseling office ASAP. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at the number below.

There are currently six Paragould School District bus routes that will be impacted due to flooding concerns. We certainly understand that some students may need to be checked out early due to these concerns. Please watch for upcoming notifications for bus 5, 10, 74, 78, 86, and 90.

We want to extend our heartfelt CONGRATULATIONS to all who competed and placed at the STATE BETA convention. We are proud of you! More photos can be found on the PSD Facebook page.

Fun things happening at PHS! Our Language Development class was able to tour the new City Hall and speak with Mayor Agee. Congratulations are in order for our PHS Archery team who recently secured 1st place at Brookland and in other JROTC news... Greenbrier stopped by to present them with a soldier's tribute as a thank you to all they did for them on Veteran's Day. And one more bit of great news coming out of the high school... The Arkansas State Teachers Association awarded Mrs. Horn, PHS 11th/12th grade counselor, a $500 grant to help provide yoga equipment for her Movement for Mental Health RTI class. It's a great day to be a Ram!
