Pottsville High School

Nominated by their teachers, Addi Cox, Malachi Brownlee, and Cort Johnson have received official invitations to attend Boys’ and Girls’ State this summer!✨

This prestigious honor means they’ll spend several days learning the process of government—campaigning, running for office, and experiencing leadership in action. 🗳️👏

These students are outstanding representatives of the Apache tribe, and we can’t wait to see what they accomplish. Good luck this summer! 💛🖤 #OurTribeStory

The GPAs are crunched, and the results are in! 🎓✨

Kade Braeutigam is the PHS Valedictorian for the Class of 2026, and Jackson Wilson is the Salutatorian! 🌟📚 These young men have worked incredibly hard—taking rigorous AP classes, studying for countless tests, and learning more than the human brain should probably be capable of!

We are so proud of their achievements and can’t wait to celebrate them at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, May 14, at Tucker Coliseum. 💛🖤

Great work, Kade and Jackson! 👏 #OurTribeStory

Mrs. Flemmons and her EAST team worked incredibly hard and did an amazing job on their state conference booth and competitions! 🎉💻✨

PHS is proud of their achievements—and even more proud of the teamwork, creativity, and Apache spirit they showed every step of the way. 💛🖤 Way to represent, Apaches! 👏 #OurTribeStory

🎤✨ TATTOO A TEACHER = ICONIC. ✨🎤 A HUGE thank you to our amazing teachers and staff who jumped all in for our PHS FBLA Tattoo a Teacher Fundraiser! Because of you, it was a massive success and SO much fun for our students! We laughed, we raised money, and let’s be honest… we discovered we have several staff members who could absolutely pass as Post Malone’s long-lost cousins 😂🖊️ Your willingness to be a little silly (and a lot tatted 😎) made this such a memorable experience for our kids—and that’s what it’s all about. We appreciate you more than you know! 🖤

Thank you!

Today was a day of bringing history to life!

Our History Club students stepped into the past as they led a living history program for 3rd graders at Potts Inn—sharing stories, sparking curiosity, and making connections across generations. Afterward, we enjoyed a well-earned picnic lunch at Rankin Park before heading to Potts Cemetery for a meaningful service project.

Students worked to document local history by contributing headstone photos and GPS coordinates to FindAGrave.com, helping preserve the stories of those who came before us.

Proud of these students for not just learning history—but living it, sharing it, and preserving it for the future. 🏛️📚

Such a great day at ATU's Lit Fest!

Students heard from talented Arkansas authors, explored campus, and experienced the power of storytelling firsthand. Experiences like this bring learning to life and spark inspiration in the next generation of storytellers!

PHS reports get mailed today!

Our Senior Internship students continue to impress! 👏 While gaining hands-on, real-world experience through their internships, many are also managing part-time jobs—developing responsibility, time-management skills, and professional confidence along the way. 💼📚

Running into Spring Break with more chances to cheer on your favorite Apaches!

Mrs. Adkins “caught” Laren and Maddie being good when they worked their magic on a beautiful balloon arch for a bridal shower! 🎈✨

We love a good balloon arch at PHS, and we especially appreciate students who are willing to help with all the small details that build a strong school culture. 💛🖤

🚂 Heads Up, Families! Union Pacific begins railroad crossing maintenance Friday at 7am, starting at East Ash Street, then moving to Edwards Road and Worthen Road. Work continues through the weekend. Plan for possible delays and consider alternate routes. Thanks for your patience!

Henry Ayers earned a “Caught Being Good” button from Mrs. Broyles! Henry consistently does a great job of being in the right place without needing reminders from adults—he’s adulting in the best possible way, and we appreciate his responsibility and leadership.

Great job, Henry! 👏 #OurTribeStory
