Happy National Hispanic Heritage Month (September 15, 2025 - October 15, 2025)

At Comet Nation we recognize and celebrate our wonderfully diverse cultures every day. However we'd like to shout Ms. Billingsley's Art Class scholars for their wonderful Hispanic Heritage Bobbleheads and poster this year.

Scholars participated in a Hispanic Heritage Bobblehead Project, where they selected an influential Hispanic figure from a provided list. Each scholar created a bobblehead portrait representing that person and included a biography highlighting their life, accomplishments, and cultural impact.

After completing their individual projects, scholars worked together on a collaborative poster. Each scholar followed a color key to complete a section of a large coloring page, which combined into one unified mural representing our celebration of Hispanic culture and creativity.

👕 AVID Wednesday! 👕

Don’t forget to show your AVID pride by rocking your college and career shirts tomorrow! At Daisy Bates Elementary, Tigers took AVID to the next level with their annual Rock Your School Week. 🐯

Teachers flipped their classrooms into real-world career spaces — from doctors’ offices 🩺 to other exciting professions — giving scholars a chance to explore college and career pathways in hands-on, creative ways. 🎓

This event and AVID are all about helping our scholars DREAM BIG, set goals, and see their future selves in action. A huge shoutout to our teachers for making learning an adventure every single day! 📚

✏️📚 Each day, AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) is shaping students' futures. From building strong study habits to practicing leadership skills, they reminded us that college and career readiness start with determination and support. 💪

⏰ Tomorrow, remember to wear your college or career shirt to show what your future could hold or where in your past shaped you. 👕🎓

The 5-time boys basketball champions of Comet Nation have entered a new Galaxy. Dozens walked through the arena for the first time today and learned the building will be named after Coach Raymond A Cooper, who led Mills University Studies High School to state titles in 2017, 2020, 2021, and 2025. Some of those players made a basket with students today.. Here are the top ten pictures from the event. #PCSSDproud #ServeAll

💙 Mills Middle School is proud to celebrate National Bullying Prevention Day! 💙

Today, our students and staff are showing unity by wearing blue — a symbol of peace, support, and kindness. This year’s theme, “Let Kindness Ripple in Blue,” reminds us that every small act of kindness creates a wave that can change our school, our community, and our world. 🌊✨

Together, we stand against bullying and for inclusion, respect, and empathy. Let’s keep the ripple going — one kind act at a time! 💫

🎶 Maumelle Middle School was alive with harmony Saturday as over 125 talented students from across Pulaski County Special School District came together for an epic Jr. High All-Region Choir prep clinic! 🎤

This musical boot camp, orchestrated by Junior High and Middle School Choir Directors, was all about helping students hit the right notes — and secure their spot in the Region 2 Jr. High All-Region Choir at tryouts in Cabot on October 4. 🎼

The third week of September is National Security Officer Appreciation Week. This week allows us to highlight the amazing work of our dozens of security officers at PCSSD. This includes monitoring the school, preventing unauthorized entries, responding to emergencies, investigating misconduct, and, most importantly, supporting students. We are so thankful for all their hard work. #PCSSDproud #ServeAll
