Paragould High School

Attention Juniors:  Last week Mr. Tim Brown from Brown's Graduation came and presented to the onsite students about ordering class rings. He also left packets with order forms  for any virtual students to pick up at Student Services  as well. The company was going to send us a digital copy of the presentation to us so that we could send it to our virtual students and any other parents who wish to see this. The plan was to have Mr. Brown come to PHS on Wednesday Oct. 14th, 2020 during the school day for 11th graders to place orders for class rings.  * Please note that due to issues related to COVID - class rings will not arrive until the Spring Semester (Spring 2021)  Unfortunately due to technical difficulties at the company, we do not have a digital copy of the presentation at this time.  Mr. Brown has assured me that they will have a digital copy of the presentation later this month or beginning of next month. Once we receive that digital copy we will send it out to all the Juniors.  If a Junior and/or their parent would like to order a class ring, they can choose one of the following ways to order:  1) If any Junior (both onsite or virtual) would like to place their order for a class ring tomorrow (Wed. Oct. 14th) , they may do that during the school day. Onsite students will be called out at various times during the morning and afternoon. Virtual students may come up during their lunch period to check in through student services and visit with the Brown's graduation staff to order a class ring. Only students will be allowed past Student Services.  2) Students may also go to the store: Brown's Graduation Supply in Jonesboro in person and place an order there.  3) If any student/parent would like to order online they can go to their website: https://brownsgrad.com/ and order their ring there.  4) If any student would like to wait until receiving the digital presentation before ordering a ring then they certainly can do that as well. We are planning to have Brown's Graduation back in November to follow up with those who wish to order a ring after seeing the presentation.  Thank you. -- Josh Shepherd , Principal

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!
