For Kyla Hudson, Pocahontas has always felt like home.
From attending school events years ago to now serving as a teacher, she’s experienced firsthand what makes this district so special—the atmosphere, the relationships, and the sense of belonging that goes far beyond the classroom.
That’s what sets Pocahontas School District apart.
Our staff invest in students, build meaningful connections, and take pride in being part of something bigger.

This evening one of our district school buses was involved in a minor traffic accident while attempting to turn around on its route. A car attempted to pass the bus during the maneuver and made contact with the vehicle.
We are grateful to report that all students and the bus driver are safe, and there were no injuries. The bus sustained only minimal damage. District staff responded immediately and ensured students were safely transported home.
We appreciate the quick response of our driver and local authorities. This situation is also a good reminder for all motorists to use caution and patience when driving near school buses to help keep our students safe.
Thank you for your continued support of our schools and the safety of our students.

Our elementary students had some special guest readers this week — Rotary Club members and even Dr. Lance Arbuckle and Mr. Green joined in the fun!
We love seeing leaders from across our district take time to sit in a classroom, share a story, and help inspire a love of reading.
