A message from the Superintendent: As the communities we serve continue to grow, our high school student enrollment continues to grow as well. While we serve adults in our district as well, of our 365 full-time students this year, 292 of them are high school students from our local communities. In fact, from our sending schools, Pontotoc Technology Center trains 25-30 percent of all the 11th and 12th grade students in our community. This produces a significant industry certified workforce, many of whom remain local and pour back into the community as they build successful careers and employ future generations. Additionally, Pontotoc Technology Center serves over 4,000 students annually in our Business and Industry Workforce Development programs and services. We greatly value the support of everyone in our district and wish our students continual success this school year!
