Attention Juniors and Parents of Juniors at PHS:
Today Tim Brown of Brown’s Graduation made a presentation to the 11th graders who are onsite about ordering class rings. Mr. Brown gave each student a packet of information about how to order a class ring. Mr. Brown will be on campus to take student orders next week on Wednesday Oct. 14th if a student wants to purchase one. If you would rather order online or at Brown’s Graduation Supply store in Jonesboro, you are certainly welcome to do that.
Please be aware that due to situations related to COVID the class rings will not be in until after Christmas this year.
For those who are virtual students we will be sending a video for you to watch the presentation in the next few days. Virtual Students this will be sent to your school email once we get it from Mr. Brown.
Lunch Menu's are now posted on the webpage. Go to the News Story to view Line 1.
The link to sign up for the ASVAB for juniors and seniors has been posted in the News Feed.

The Paragould School District has received an Emergency School Pantry and Food Box Program Grant Award in the amount of $25,000! This grant is administered by the Arkansas Food Bank in partnership with the six regional food banks. The purpose of the program is to provide additional food assistance to low income families with children. There will be at least one special food box distribution per week. The food from this program is meant for all family members, not just the children. The Paragould School District is excited about this awesome opportunity to serve our students and their families!
Congratulations to the 2020 Paragould High School Homecoming Court!
