Poplarville High School
A Note from Our Principal
Welcome to Poplarville High School!
PHS is truly a special place with special people who share common goals.
First, we desire an amazing high school experience for every Hornet. The staff and faculty work hard every day to provide a positive culture for each student because we care. We also encourage all students to be involved in activities, sports, clubs, and school spirit to enhance the high school experience.
Second, we strive every day to prepare each Hornet for the next step, whatever it may be, by promoting a culture of hard work, integrity, and achievement. PHS consistently ranks as one of the top high schools in Mississippi according to the Mississippi School Accountability Rankings which is a direct result of how we prepare for success.
Thank you for your interest in Poplarville High School, and please feel free to contact us if you would like to know more.
