Their dedication, leadership, and commitment to student success help create positive learning environments where students and staff can thrive.
Thank you to our principals for the countless hours, difficult decisions, and unwavering support you provide to our school communities. Your impact reaches far beyond the walls of your buildings, and we are grateful for all you do for Pocahontas County Schools.

📚 Growing Together, Achieving More!
On October 8, central office directors worked with David Chiprany from Solution Tree Learning to strengthen the collaborative process and explore ways to make teacher collaboration even more effective.
Then, on October 9, our building principals and teachers made the most of an early student dismissal by engaging in professional learning focused on intervention strategies, collaboration, and other practices designed to support student growth and achievement.
These opportunities allow our educators to share ideas, strengthen teamwork, and develop strategies that make a difference in the classroom. When our educators learn and grow together, our students benefit!
Thank you to our principals, teachers, and central office team for their continued dedication to professional growth and student success!
