District's Mission:

We will challenge and inspire our students to value different perspectives and become

successful, contributing citizens in an increasingly interdependent world.

Panther's Code:

Our Panther Code serves as our code of conduct, and students are frequently rewarded for demonstrating these traits. One of the ways students are rewarded is with ROAR bucks. When a Panther is “caught being good,” or following our values they are given a ROAR where they can exchange for goodies at the student store. Our WEB leaders are happy to help students cash-out on their ROAR bucks every day during break!

Student Support Team

Pomolita's Vision:

Promote the development of each student as an academically, socially, and physically fit citizen. We believe that the development of a student's sense of responsibility for his or her learning and behavior is central to a successful transition to the high school experience. We, as a school community, are dedicated to academic excellence, social awareness, and the encouragement of life-long learning.
