Our SPHS Healthcare and Clinical Services students from Mrs. Shultice and Mrs. Sprouse's classes had an incredible learning experience visiting Bright Eyes Vision Clinic with Dr. Bright!

A huge thank you to Dr. Bright and her amazing staff for welcoming our students and providing such an engaging, informative, and inspiring experience. This is exactly the kind of exposure that helps our students connect classroom learning to real healthcare careers!
Special thanks as well to Coach Higdon, CTE Director; K. Farmer, Transportation Director; and our bus driver, Mr. Sanford for helping make this trip possible. We truly appreciate your support of our students and their future in healthcare! 💙🩺

With sharp focus, solid teamwork, and outstanding leadership, the South Panola High
School Air Force JROTC Drone Team has pulled off a truly historic achievement — a
perfect three-event sweep, taking home their third consecutive Grand Championship at
the Big JROTC Showdown in Mesquite, Texas.
Operating like a well-oiled machine, Team A soared to victory as Grand Champions,
battling top-tier competition from Texas and Arkansas. Meanwhile, Team C secured the
Judge’s Award, recognized for their professionalism, teamwork, and creative decision-
making under pressure.
This victory marks a first in school history — never before has a South Panola AFJROTC
drone team captured three major championship titles in a single season. This wasn’t luck
— it was the result of discipline, commitment, and the never-quit mindset that defines
South Panola cadets.
“This is more than a win — it’s a message to every JROTC team out there,”
said TSgt Rodney Williams, Aerospace Science Instructor and Drone Team
Head Coach. “South Panola cadets are showing what leadership, discipline,
and heart can achieve.”
These wins show more than talent — they prove what happens when cadets train hard,
support each other, and lead with character. With the guidance of instructors TSgt
Williams, MSgt Vonetta Roseman, Ms. Lashandra Carr, and Ms. Denise Pope, South
Panola is setting a new bar for excellence.
Now, the team sets its sights on the next mission — the Marion Military Institute STEM
Challenge in Marion, Alabama, where they’ll go for an unprecedented fourth Grand
Championship in a single season.
To every cadet who flew, coded, strategized, and supported — this is your win. South
Panola isn’t just showing up — we’re showing out. And we’re just getting started.

🌟 Learning Beyond the Classroom! 🌟
The South Panola High School Early Childhood students had an amazing opportunity to visit Batesville Elementary to shadow and observe the Pre-K teachers in action! This hands-on experience allowed them to see daily routines, classroom management, learning centers, and the joy of teaching little learners. Some of our students were able to visit with their former Pre-K teachers, and we even got to see some of our former Tiger Care students.
Thank you to the wonderful Pre-K teachers at Batesville Elementary and to Dr. Sutton for welcoming us and sharing your classrooms with us! 💛📚👶✨
