PRHS ended Teacher Appreciation week with a bang! It started with breakfast from Pea Ridge Cheer. Followed by lunch from El Pueblito and then a pick me up trail mix bar and energy drinks from Student Council. That's not it...we had some big giveaways from Donna Allen, Blackhawk Jewelry, Dye Hards Gym, Splash Car Wash, Ace Hardware, Sonic, The Nest and a ton of gift cards from Parents! Also, want to give a huge shout out to Jenn Jacobs for cooking and preparing meals all week! Thank you is not enough to everyone who made the PRHS teachers feel appreciated! We are truly blessed to work in the best district! Many thanks!

We wanted to reach out to anyone who may have been impacted by the recent passing of one of our previous graduates. During times like this, it’s important that we come together and support one another. Pea Ridge High School will be opening its doors on Friday, May 1st from 3:30–4:30 PM to provide a space for current and former students to connect, reflect, and process. Mental health professionals will be available during this time for anyone who would like to talk or simply needs support.

Lil' Hawks Camp time a year!

🎓🌟 Big congratulations to Austen Goss and Hunter Rowlee!

We are proud to share that both students have been accepted into the prestigious Arkansas Governor’s School—a highly competitive program that recognizes outstanding academic achievement and leadership potential across the state.

This incredible opportunity allows students to engage in an immersive, college-level learning experience alongside some of the top students in Arkansas.

We are excited to see all they will accomplish and to see them represent Pea Ridge so well! 👏

This morning some of the cast and crew of Peter/Wendy traveled to the intermediate to greet students and then flew over to the pre-k to have breakfast with students and read them the Peter Pan book!

Happy Administrative Assistant Day to our fabulous four! These ladies pour their heart and soul into PRHS and we couldn't be more blessed to work beside them. From being the face of the front office to the paperwork behind the scenes, they each show up day in and day out for our students, staff, and parents. A huge thank you for all your hard work!

🥞✨ Friday morning was a hit at our JH/HS FFA Teacher Pancake Breakfast!

Our FFA students did an outstanding job hosting this annual tradition, and it was a great success from start to finish. 👏

A big THANK YOU to everyone who helped plan, prepare, and serve—it truly takes a team! And shoutout to our amazing junior high and high school teachers and staff who stopped by to enjoy breakfast with us. 🍽️💙
