All potential PCMS Cougar Football players should be aware of the following information.
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.
Would you look at that! Would ya just look at it! TWO STATE TITLES today for Pulaski County! JJ Gulley has just won the 4A State Championship in the high jump with his 6'5" leap!

Congratulations to both JJ Gulley and Diego Turner on their gold medals today!
Hey Cougar Nation! How about another STATE CHAMPION!!

We'll post updates as they become available.

Pulaski County Public Schools has developed a new honor that students, staff, faculty, and members of the community will begin seeing more often in the future. We are pleased to introduce the official "Cougar Pride" coin. Fashioned after military challenge coins, these coins will be presented to individuals who allow their Cougar Pride to shine. This award will be presented to those who shine a positive light on our schools, our school system, and our community. Members of the Pulaski County School Board have begun receiving these coins to present at their discretion. Shown in this photo are the initial design and the final product.
Be sure to get out on one of these dates to see some of the finest middle school drama students around perform The Little Mermaid Jr.
Happy Teacher Appreciation Week to all of our incredible teachers this week! Thank you for all you do for our students!
The PCHS Theatre Arts Department will be presenting Gilbert and Sullivan's hilarious operetta Pirates of Penzance THIS WEEKEND ONLY! Performances are Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at 7 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m. This musical has familiar songs that feature lots of word play, quick repartee, and witty dialogue. There are pirates, keystone cops, damsels in distress, and a Modern Major General. Frederick is a young man who was mistakenly apprenticed to a band of bumbling pirates (all of whom are orphans) until his 21st year. At the opening of the play, he is set to be freed of his indentures. Unfortunately, his nanny believes that he will now stay with her as her husband, when he meets a bevy of beautiful maidens on the island where he is now stranded. They are all daughters of a Modern Major General. Mistaken identities, pirates kidnapping the daughters, and a rousing tribute to Queen Victoria ensues. Tickets are $7 each or 5 for $25. Thursday night is teacher, faculty, staff badge night (Free admission for you and a guest with a school badge). Sunday is Senior Night with each senior being recognized and the 2022-23 Theatre Season announced. The show is approximately 2 hours with intermission (and will delight all ages).
