U.S. Congressman Smith hosts art contest
Two PBHS students were chosen as finalists in the 2019 Congressional Art Competition during a reception held Monday, May 13, at the Margaret Harwell Museum, sponsored by U.S. Rep. Jason Smith.
Senior Megan Murphy and junior Chloe Sisk were selected in a six-county region for best of show consideration among 10 students total in Smith's 8th Congressional District. The overall winner, from West Plains, will have her artwork displayed for a year in Washington, D.C.
"Southern Missouri is home to many talented high school artists, and I take pride in showing off the artistic spirit of the Show-Me State in the United State Capitol," the congressman said in a press release.

Students explore Poplar Bluff Museum
Junior High communication arts teacher Julie Gambill brought a group of seventh and eighth graders to the Poplar Bluff Museum on Tuesday, May 14.
"It's an indicator of how far we've come [in terms of] convenience, and how much farther we can go," Gambill commented. "Maybe it'll draw a better appreciation of how we've developed as a community, and the importance of preserving history."
The Poplar Bluff Museum, located at 1010 N. Main St., features a sports hall of fame, a veterans' room, school history, famous people and much more. Operated by volunteers, the facility is open to the public from 2-4 p.m. on Sundays.
The mini field trip was part of the annual Ed Expo during which students get to decide what they wish to learn for the day.
