We're more than halfway through the season now - every game counts! ROBINSON HIGH is on the road, while MAUMELLE and SYLVAN HILLS HIGH will play at home. (Comets are on a BYE). Good luck! You can watch all games via livestream: https://www.pcssd.org/page/sports-network #pcssdproud #serveall
The Maumelle High School Counseling Department hosted the Army National Guard's "Mission Day" today. This was open to juniors and seniors. They participated in a series of fast-paced missions to give them a taste of what it's like to serve in the National Guard. From virtual firefighting to search and rescue to learning lifesaving first-aid skills, students discovered many great lessons.
