PGSD Police Officer Darius Wilson has begun the D.A.R.E. program at Singing River Academy. D.A.R.E. is an acronym for Drug Abuse Resistance Education, the highly acclaimed program that gives kids the skills they need to avoid involvement in drugs, gangs, and violence. D.A.R.E. was founded in 1983 and has proven so successful that it has been implemented in thousands of schools throughout the United States and 50+ other countries. The program is now making a comeback in the PGSD thanks to Officer Wilson. #bethelight

Members of the Pascagoula High School Student Council surprised Katherine “Kitty” Harris Bardwell today at the Pascagoula-Gautier School District’s central office, asking her to be the Grand Marshal for the PHS Homecoming Parade on Thursday, Sept. 26, 2019! Bardwell wrote the PHS Alma Mater when she was a junior at Pascagoula High in 1947 which has been sung by thousands of PHS students for generations. As PHS celebrates its 80th birthday (of the second PHS) this year, it was a wonderful tribute to 88-year-old Kitty Bardwell to ask her to serve as Grand Marshal! Mrs. Bardwell, a 1949 PHS grad, is a familiar face at Central Office, subbing for the receptionist, and helping out at registration every year. We love you Miss Kitty! Congratulations! #bethelight

The Pascagoula-Gautier School District hosted a Chick-fil-A fundraiser for Brooklyn Willis, a two-year-old who was recently diagnosed with DIPG, Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma, a rare brain tumor that is inoperable.
