Faculty Professional Development for the week of April 1 - 5

Instructional Model - Data Sweeps will take place all week (through April 12) as a method to determine the extent of use of four instructional approaches by teachers in Pulaski County Schools. School administrators from across the county will conduct quick walk-through (<2 min.) observations of each instructional space to determine the instructional approach being utilized by the teaching staff.

Do you want to be a 9th-Grade Mentor?  We are starting a new mentoring program and it will include helping the up-coming 9th graders settle into the high school environment, help them make friends, and give them the opportunity to branch out and try new things.  We are looking for current 9th, 10th, and 11th graders eager to help their fellow classmates.

Campus Evacuation Drill

March 21, 2019

Pulaski County High School will conduct a school-wide evacuation drill on Thursday, March 20th. This drill is expected to begin soon after the start of the school day.

Everyone on campus, unless otherwise specified, will leave campus via school transportation to a evacuation site and then return to PCHS. Instruction is expected to continue in first block prior to classes leaving campus and begin again upon returning to your classroom.

Students that are checking in will remain in the front office until the conclusion of the drill. Parent or guardians must come into the front office to check their student out. Please remember during this time to expect delays.
