I have enjoyed my last four years at North Pontotoc High School. I am a part of the theatre program, and it has been amazing. I have so many memories and friendships that i hope to carry with me into this new chapter of my life.

North Pontotoc High School has always been a very bright, and amazing experience. The students and staff members are very respectful. I like how the students engage with the teachers. Classes are very fun and interesting. Students get to learn in different ways. I've had a good variety of classes, in the time I've been in high school.
