How cool is this!? Dr. Josh Smith, Abel Gallegos, and Jennifer Wharton from the Osteopathic College of Medicine visited with Mrs. Duncan's classes at SYLVAN HILLS HIGH to teach and practice suturing last week. Hands-on experience is the best way to learn! #pcssdproud #serveall

Cinco de Mayo commemorates a significant Mexican victory during the Franco-Mexican War in Puebla. While it is a regional holiday in Mexico, the U.S. celebrates from coast to coast with food (guacamole, anyone?), traditional Mexican folk music & more. #pcssdproud #serveall

May is the time to make moves! Since 1983, National Physical Fitness and Sports Month is a great reminder to discover physical activities that your family enjoys together. What sports or activities are your students up to - individually or as a family? #pcssdproud #serveall

Congratulations to Keziah Stinyard, one of our senior Choir students at Sylvan Hills High School, who received the $2,000 2024-2025 Vocal/Choral Scholarship from the Arkansas Chamber Singers this year!

Happy School Lunch Hero Day! Behind the scenes, these hard-working staff members make sure our students are fed every day - which is no small feat! Today we want to say a big thank you for all the prep, cooking, line-wrangling and more from these rockstars. #pcssdproud #serveall

On Educator Commitment Signing Day, let’s all give a big round of applause to the next generation of educators. We can’t wait to see you inspiring students in the classroom. #pcssdproud #serveall

Yes! We still teach students what it's like to care for an infant in a busy life. Ms. Albert said: "These Baby Think It Over's have definitely done their job so far!! But what I loved the most is that the students didn't complain! They did what they had to do! One of these lucky babies got to go to the rodeo, while a few others got to sit in on early morning practice! And a special thanks to our village on the field this morning for the pamper changes and bottle feedings! It's appreciated!"
