Principal’s Summary: We have just completed the first month of the second semester. Poston Butte High School is off to a great start. Our kids are doing a great job in school and competing in a variety of competitions, including writing and the Skills USA competition. We are very proud of our student body and the talents they are able to demonstrate. Jalen Richard scored his 1000th point as a basketball player for Poston Butte High School. What a thrill for him and our Boys Basketball Team. We are looking forward to a fantastic second semester of school. Thank you for the opportunity to serve.
