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.
