South Panola High School

🍂 Fall Fun at Chadwick Farms! 🍂

Our Early Childhood Education students and our sweet Tiger Care preschoolers enjoyed a wonderful day at Chadwick Farms! 🐮🎃🌻

From exploring the pumpkin patch to meeting friendly farm animals and enjoying a hayride, everyone had a blast learning about farm life and soaking up the beautiful fall weather. ☀️

These hands-on experiences help our high school students see how engaging and educational field trips can be for young learners — and our little ones loved every minute! ❤️

Thank you, Chadwick Farms, for hosting us for such a fun and memorable day!

🎃Trunk or Treat is almost here! 👻
Join us this Thursday at South Panola High School from 4:00–6:00 PM for a spooktacular good time!
This event is for children 5th grade and under, and we can’t wait to see all the adorable costumes. 🐯🧙‍♀️👮‍♂️
Parents, please park and line up at the end of the parking lot.
We’ll have decorated trunks, sweet treats, and lots of smiles! 🍬🚗✨
Come out and make some boo-tiful memories with us! 🎃🦇

The SPHS AFJROTC Drone team crushed it this weekend at the Terre Haute Aerial Drone Invitational in Indiana this past weekend winning six out of eight awards by margins of 30 plus points.

Recently, our Early Childhood Education students had the pleasure of welcoming Mrs. Pat Neal and Mrs. Beth Bell from the Mississippi State Extension Service to classroom!

They shared valuable information about the importance of nutrition for young children and how to create a print-rich environment in the early learning classroom. Our students enjoyed learning practical ways to promote healthy habits and literacy development in preschool settings.

A huge thank you to Mrs. Pat and Mrs. Beth for spending time with our students and sharing their expertise! 💕

💗 South Panola FFA Honors Local Breast Cancer Survivors

In recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the South Panola FFA Chapter proudly presented its 2025 “Blue & Gold Goes Pink” shirts to several Panola County residents who have courageously battled breast cancer.
Each year, our FFA members look for meaningful ways to support and connect with the community. This year’s project allowed students to not only raise awareness but also celebrate the strength, resilience, and hope shown by these incredible individuals.
During the presentation, FFA members and advisors gathered to personally thank each honoree for their bravery and perseverance. The bright pink shirts, printed with “FFA Batesville, MS” on the front and “Blue & Gold Goes Pink” on the back, symbolize the chapter’s unity with those affected by breast cancer and the ongoing fight for a cure.
The South Panola FFA Chapter extends heartfelt appreciation to the survivors who joined them for this special recognition. Their courage serves as an inspiration to our students and the entire community.

💙💛💗 Blue and Gold truly go Pink this October as South Panola FFA stands together in support, awareness, and love.

Mrs. Hamilton’s Foundations of Biology students explored the microscopic world before fall break, observing bacteria and fungi under the microscope and sketching their observations. The specimen photos seen here were taken by students Chaz Ellis and Aaron Ragon.

💙💛 South Panola FFA Officers Giving Back

Our South Panola FFA Officer Team spent the Monday preparing and delivering thoughtful goodie bags to the residents of Azalea Commons Assisted Living! 🌼
This special visit was a way for our officers to give back to the community, brighten someone’s day, and share the FFA spirit of service and leadership. 💪🐮
A big thank-you to the staff and residents of Azalea Commons for welcoming us with smiles and conversation — we loved getting to visit with everyone!

Last month, our student Blake Finkenbiner, a junior at SPHS, had the opportunity to meet with Mr. Sergio Vergara, Fire & Life Safety Educator for the City of Batesville Fire Department. Mr. Vergara shared valuable insight about careers in the Fire Service, including the pathway to becoming a firefighter and paramedic.
Blake is considering a future in firefighting while also planning to serve in the military after high school. Though still undecided on which branch he will enlist in, his strong interest in firefighting and emergency response is clear.

A special thank you to Mr. Vergara for taking the time to encourage and guide our students toward meaningful career opportunities!

On September 25th, 2025, South Panola’s Tiger TV group visited Fox 13 News in Memphis, TN to explore careers in Media. Students gained a first-hand look at how the news is delivered off-air in real time and had the opportunity to meet several reporters. They also toured each department, learning the roles and responsibilities that make a news station operate, while asking thoughtful and insightful questions throughout the day. In addition, students practiced delivering the news and weather using teleprompters, improving their on-camera skills in a real newsroom setting. The trip was coordinated by the Career Coaches in partnership with the Tiger TV instructor.

Today our Health Science and Sports Medicine classes had the honor of welcoming Dr. W. Dabbs, a dedicated physician and proud U.S. Army veteran, as our guest speaker. 🇺🇸🩺

No words can truly express how much we enjoyed his visit! His stories, experiences, and wisdom inspired our students and reminded us of the incredible dedication it takes to serve both our country and our patients.

We are so grateful for him taking time out of his busy schedule to invest in our future healthcare leaders. 💙
