Pocahontas Area Middle/ High School

What Pocahontas Area Middle/ High School does

Pocahontas Area Community School District is a public K-12 school district headquartered at 202 1st Ave SW, Pocahontas, Iowa, serving the local community through five consolidated facilities: the High School/Middle School (grades 6-12, 205 2nd Ave NW), Elementary School (grades K-5, 208 1st Ave. SW), Regional Learning Center (online courses at 202 1st Ave. SW), and All-Star-T Preschool (910 W. Elm Street). With approximately 180 employees spanning administrators, teachers, paraprofessionals, support staff, bus drivers, and maintenance, the district provides preschool-through-12th-grade education supplemented by career and technical education (CTE) in Agriculture, Business, Health Occupations, and Family Consumer Sciences, plus a transportation fleet equipped with WiFi and a food service operation ("PAC Cafe") preparing roughly 850 meals daily across district schools and external partner organizations.

The district's technology stack is procured rather than proprietary: Infinite Campus functions as the student information system and registration/parent portal, Edgenuity delivers online and credit-recovery courses via the Regional Learning Center, Hapara serves as the learning management system, and Google Workspace for Education supports collaboration and IT Help Desk workflows. The district website is delivered through the Apptegy platform and is paired with iOS/Android mobile apps, a YouTube channel (PAC Promotions), a Facebook page, and Snapchat/Twitter presences for PAC Cafe and PAC Lunch, respectively.

The business model is public-sector: revenue is sourced primarily from local property taxes, Iowa state SAVE (Secure an Advanced Vision for Education) funding, and voter-approved bond referendums (next: "UNITED AS ONE," November 3, 2026, ~$8.5M), with federal supplements via the USDA National School Lunch Program and program-specific fees (meals, preschool, activities). There are no tuition charges; customer segments are K-12 students and their families served through online registration via Infinite Campus and direct in-person enrollment. Governance rests with an elected seven-member school board (five zone-elected plus two at-large), and the district operates as an Iowa state government entity with no parent company and no venture capital or private equity backing.
