Pulaski County Public Schools is proud to recognize Matt Jackson of the Operations Department. Recently, Jackson was put into a position that added many additional duties to his daily routine. He stepped up to the plate and performed all tasks in a manner that not only accomplished each mission, but also reflected positively on our school system and Operations Department. His tireless efforts and strong work ethic allowed him to continue to be a positive force in his department and in our schools.

Congratulations to the PCPS Finance Department and all of the bookkeepers who work in our schools and at the School Board Office. They are responsible for performing the daily financial and accounting work at their school or department and they have an extremely important role in managing and allocating resources to our division and school leadership, teachers, and staff. In particular, the FY 2021 School Board audit had no audit findings and only one audit comment that was unrelated to the performance of their finance/bookkeeping duties. In addition, the draft copy of the FY 2022 School Activity Funds audit has been provided for management review and is one of the best in many years, including 3 of our 7 schools receiving a perfect audit with no audit comments. We are appreciative of these hard-working employees and wish to recognize them for their contributions to Pulaski County Public Schools.

Check out this FREE theatre arts program being offered!

While it was originally considered a fact that the PCHS Theatre Arts Program had not one or two but three VHSL State Championships, that has now been proven false. They have FOUR VHSL State Championships! In addition to these, we now know that the program also has multiple region titles, at least one state runner-up, and at least nine district titles. Those numbers are likely going to be higher by the time all is said and done, as some years there were no trophies presented. Those all go with the many festival championships the program has won over the years. Mr. Jeff McCoy is in the process of helping us document all of these awards so that we can properly record and save that history, with the hopes of adding more hardware to that trophy case very, very soon.

Don't miss out Critzer students!

Don't forget, we will be closed Monday, June 20, 2022.
