The Student Services office at PHS recently started a Kindness Award. Students are nominated by staff for their random acts of kindness around school. Our first four winners were: Nancy Brandon, Joseph Davidson, Jonathan Stewart , and Kaylin Bland (not pictured). We are proud of their kindness and the goodness they exude on a daily basis!

62 students! $9,700 awarded! CONGRATULATIONS to our PHS students who obtained qualifying scores on AP exams. It's a good problem to have when your backdrop isn't big enough for all of your award winners! To our teachers, THANK YOU, for your dedication. #psdrams #rampride

The A.P. Awards ceremony is Friday, October 29th at 9:45am. It will be live streamed through the link below and photos will be posted afterward of the award winners. We are excited to celebrate their academic achievement! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAB4JhGJV4M&authuser=0

Please be aware that if we are unable to get a hold of the parent then we will not allow the student to check out. 3)The student is responsible for driving or riding with their guardians to the game in Marion,AR. 4) Prior to attending the game the student must purchase a ticket for the event. See the Marion School District Facebook page for the QR code to use to purchase tickets. 5)While during the game on Wednesday the student must find the PHS administrator at the game and sign in with them so that their absence can be excused.

The District Communicable Disease Exposure Control Plan has been modified. Masks are currently optional. If the Paragould School District has quarantined 250 or more students (approximately 8% of the district student enrollment) due to close contact to positive COVID-19 cases, then the District will enforce the emergency face coverings policy until the School Board revokes such policy. We must remain vigilant. We must continue to focus on mitigating strategies that have helped us reduce the spread of COVID-19. A variety of measures will remain in place to ensure the safest learning environment possible. The Paragould School District is fully committed to the health and safety of all students, staff and visitors. We are proud of the actions that were taken to ensure a safe start to the school year.
