Paragould Junior High School

🎓✨ Paragould High School kicked off the Arkansas Applied Campaign with a special Mayoral Proclamation Ceremony in celebration of national #WhyApply Day!

Career Coaches Francesca Shearer and Brittany Hall planned the event, where Mayor Agee signed a Proclamation officially designating October 1, 2025 – December 31, 2025 as Paragould High School’s Arkansas Applied Campaign.

💬 Our seniors heard inspiring messages from Mayor Agee, City Councilman, Pastor, and Podcaster Jared Pickney, and Pastor Blake Ligon of CBC Paragould, encouraging the Class of 2026 to pursue enrollment, enlistment, or employment after graduation.

📽️ PHS faculty and staff also joined together in a special video message for seniors, which was revealed during the ceremony.

🎟️ Seniors who have already applied to college received Golden Tickets to scratch off for prizes—thanks to the incredible support of our local businesses who generously donated rewards for students and teachers!

🏆 College Door Contest Winners:
1️⃣ Mrs. Melissa Lamb – 1st Place
2️⃣ Mrs. Prince – 2nd Place
3️⃣ Mrs. Yawson – 3rd Place

👏 Congratulations to our winners and to our seniors for taking the first steps toward their future!
