Recently Mills High School students and staff collected winter wear items like hats, scarves, beanies, and gloves, and this week we delivered them to Mobile Table, a recently created non-profit started by PCSSD teachers. These items are going right back into our community to people in need. We are so thankful for everyone who participated and helped their community!

🎓 Seniors from all four PCSSD high schools came together today for the annual AVID Senior Seminar at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.

Our English classes are currently working on argumentative writing and the concepts of ethos, pathos, and logos. Ms. Galloway's classes experienced a hands-on activity that helped them understand the differences. They had the opportunity to show their learning by sorting examples of each. Next steps - adding this type of language - ethos, pathos, and logos - in their own writing!

🏆 This morning, the Arkansas State Board of Education honored Ms. Elizabeth Prewett as the 2025 Arkansas History Teacher of the Year, selected by the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History.
🔰 Ms. Prewett teaches at Mills University Studies High School, where she also serves as Department Chair for the Design Career Academy, mentors novice teachers, and contributes to the AVID Site Team and Guiding Coalition. Her innovative approach—such as integrating Arkansas history into children’s books and student-created comic strips—brings history to life in the classroom.
👏 She also earned National Board Certification in December. Congratulations, Ms. Prewett! Your leadership and creativity continue to inspire students and educators across Arkansas. #PCSSDproud #MillsOnTheMove #ServeAll
Before teachers welcomed students back to their classrooms, they were the ones learning. On Monday, Brad Chapin, who is a master 's-level psychologist out of Topeka, Kansas, was our presenter and shared his self-regulation training system with our staff. Teachers learned about physical, emotional, and cognitive regulation skills to improve their own practice and support students' academic performance, social interactions, motivation, self-esteem, and more.
👩🏫Teachers and staff spent time at PCSSD Central Office today sharpening skills, sharing ideas, and preparing for a strong semester ahead. See you tomorrow, students!📚#PCSSDproud #ServeAll #BackToSchool #ProfessionalDevelopment
