We are proud to recognize our PJHS Teacher of the Year, Alison Hansen, and our PJHS Classified Staff Member of the Year, Alisha Watson! 👏✨
Both Alison and Alisha were selected for this honor because of their incredible commitment to our school, unwavering support of students and staff, positive attitudes, and the lasting impact they make each day at PJHS. Their dedication, compassion, and willingness to go above and beyond truly represent the very best of our school community.
We would also like to extend a special congratulations to Alison Hansen for being recognized as the PSD Teacher of the Year at last week’s end-of-year celebration! 🎊 This is such a well-deserved honor, and we are incredibly proud of the difference she makes in the lives of students every single day.
Please join us in congratulating these two outstanding individuals for their hard work, dedication, and service to PJHS! 💙❤️💙
This is for any student that just completed grades 8-11.
Here is the Link for the ACT Bootcamp that we will host here at PHS on June 8th-12th from 8:30am to 12:45pm. There will be a 1 hour session of each: math, science, English, and reading daily. Students will be provided snacks and water. Friday there will be a pizza party at the end with prizes for those students who attend all week. It is advised for kids to take the June 13th exam after having attended the ACT Bootcamp. There have been some really positive ACT results for students who do this. It is not required for you to take the ACT then. We want all to feel welcomed. If you need to sign up for the ACT and you have never made an account, go to myACT.org and create an account. You will need about 30 minutes to sit down and answer questions, you will need a headshot with a neutral background and be able to pay $68 for the regular test. If your child is wanting to do anything in the STEM field, then also sign up for the science portion of the test and it is an additional $4. Contact Sarah Cooper, scooper@paragouldschools.net if you have any questions!
We are excited and honored to announce that PJHS has been voted as the Best Junior High School in Northeast Arkansas as part of the Best of Northeast Arkansas awards presented by the Jonesboro Radio Group and Pak Mail Super Center!

We are so proud to represent such an amazing school community and grateful for everyone who supports PJHS. Thank you for believing in us and helping make our school the best! 💙
Congratulations to our students, staff, and families on this outstanding recognition! 🎊

The Paragould School District has been made aware of a security issue on the high school construction site. While the situation appears to be isolated in nature and was not specifically directed toward the Paragould School District, local authorities were immediately notified and are investigating the matter. Out of an abundance of caution, Ram Run activities for students in grades 4–6 will be postponed. We appreciate your understanding as we continue to prioritize the safety and well-being of our students, staff, and community.
Here is a list of events to finish the school year.
