Paragould High School

Attention PHS Parents of Seniors and Juniors: Brown's Graduation Supply from Jonesboro will be on the PHS campus on Wednesday, Feb. 16th for two reasons: 1) For any Senior who has not been measured and/or ordered a cap and gown for graduation. 2) For any Junior to pick up the class ring that they ordered and have paid for it. If you need to take care of one of these two things please do that while they are here on campus. If you are not able to take care of this while they are here, you are welcome to go to their store in Jonesboro. Brown's Graduation Supply will accept payment for class rings while they are here on campus on that day as well. Please note that for those Seniors who have already ordered their graduation items, they have not arrived yet. Brown's Graduation Supply will be coming back to PHS to deliver those items when they do. Thank you. -- Josh Shepherd Principal

PHS Parents: Tonight we will have our parent- teacher conferences in the PHS Cafeteria. You can come between 4-7pm to pick up your child's 3rd 9 weeks progress report. The PHS staff will also be available during that time if you would like to discuss anything with them.
