Pocahontas Public Schools will not be in session on Monday, April 8, 2024, due to the total solar eclipse. The school will be closed as we are in the direct path of the totality, and this event is anticipated to draw nearly 20,000 visitors to our surrounding area. In light of the expected influx of visitors, it has been decided to close the school to minimize logistical challenges that may arise with school dismissal and bus routes.

VFW Auxiliary #4556 is sponsoring its annual “Get Excited for the Red, White and Blue!” National Anthem singing contest.
