🎉 Celebrating Juanetta Bocko 🎉 After eight years with Plainview ISD, Juanetta Bocko reflects on the most rewarding part of her journey—working alongside the amazing administration team and faculty at PHS. “I never imagined I’d return to Plainview, but it has truly become home,” she shared. One of her most memorable moments came this year when she became sick and had to use her Crisis Go button. “Within moments, everyone showed up to help—I felt so cared for. It was funny and heartwarming all at once.” With 20 years of experience in education, Juanetta has worked with every age group but found a true passion teaching high school students. “I loved watching them grow in confidence and talent through their artwork. I had never taught with a true ‘team’ until PHS, and those bonds have become incredibly special to me.” As she heads into retirement, Juanetta says, “I’m not sure I’ll be able to sleep in, but I’m excited to travel with my husband and finally dive into my own art interests." Thank you, Mrs. Bocko, for your dedication, heart, and impact. You will be missed! ❤️ Her Celebration Details are down below:

📣 Big News: A New Beginning for Our Littlest Learners We’re excited to announce the transformation of an existing campus into our brand-new Early Learning Education Center, fully dedicated to children from age 3 through 1st grade. This center is now open for enrollment and includes: ✅ A public daycare classroom for potty-trained 3-year-olds ✅ Full-day Pre-K, Kindergarten, and 1st Grade ✅ A strong focus on literacy, early numeracy, and joyful learning We understand that change can bring questions. Please know—we see you, we hear you, and we appreciate you. But most of all—we ask you to see what we see: ✨ A space built with one goal—putting kids first. This campus isn’t about test scores. It’s not about STAAR. It’s about giving young students the attention, care, and foundational learning they need and deserve. Every administrator and teacher here is focused solely on early childhood education, creating a fun, loving environment where: 📚 Kids learn to read 🔢 Build math confidence 🎨 Explore creativity 💬 Grow in language and expression ❤️ And develop a lifelong love of learning When students leave this campus, they’ll be ready to read to learn at our North and Central campuses—equipped with the confidence and skills they need to succeed. We are grateful for your support and trust as we take this bold step to serve our youngest learners in the best way possible. While change isn’t always easy, this shift reflects our long-term vision: to create a strong, focused foundation where every child can grow, thrive, and fall in love with learning—because this is about their education and their future. #PlainviewProud #EarlyLearningMatters #StartStrongPISD #ItStartsHere #StudentFocused

Celebrating Academic Excellence: Meet Our 2025 Valedictorian and Salutatorian Plainview High School is proud to recognize the academic excellence of our 2025 Valedictorian, Eowyn Thornhill, and Salutatorian, Brooklyn Collins. Eowyn Thornhill, our 2025 Valedictorian, shared that this honor symbolizes the result of years of dedication, and the encouragement she received from her teachers and parents. She highlighted her AP Calculus class during her junior year as a pivotal experience—especially thanks to her favorite teacher, Mrs. Franklin. Eowyn emphasized the strong impact that educators like Mrs. Franklin, Mrs. Marshall, Mrs. Comans, and Mrs. Martin had on her academic journey. She plans to attend Rice University to study mathematics and hopes to study abroad, take unique classes like fencing and creative writing, and continue volunteering. Eowyn’s advice to students is simple but powerful: Be kind, respect everyone, and don’t let others' opinions limit your potential. Brooklyn Collins shared that being named Salutatorian is a huge accomplishment and a reflection of the perseverance, hard work, and dedication she’s poured into her education. She’s grateful for the support she's received from family and staff throughout her life. When asked about her high school journey, Brooklyn said it’s the little moments—like laughs in the hallway, coffee runs, and heartfelt advice from teachers—that left the biggest impact. She credits her parents, siblings, grandma, and youth pastor for being her guiding lights, and looks forward to attending the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor to study Pre-Med. Her advice to future students? Always strive to be better than you were yesterday and be confident in your own path.

Important Notice for Students & Families We are aware of a harmful TikTok trend that encourages students to insert objects like paper clips or pushpins into their Chromebooks, causing serious damage. Unfortunately, we’ve already had several reports of this happening across our district. As a result, principals have begun the process of collecting devices, and students found intentionally damaging Chromebooks will be assigned to DAEP/Impact and may face criminal mischief charges. Please talk to your child about the seriousness of this trend. We urge our students to protect their devices and avoid making decisions that could negatively impact their education or future. Take care of your Chromebook—don’t risk it for a trend. https://www.mysuncoast.com/2025/05/06/school-officials-say-tiktok-trend-has-students-forcing-paper-clips-pushpins-into-chromebooks/?outputType=amp
