Program 1: One-Act Play Production has had a large participation rate for the past few years and this year won the FKC One Act Championship. What makes this group so unique is that between students and sponsor they have written their own play the past two years. This makes their play an original piece of work that they have written, casted and performed.

Program 2: FFA is another successful program in the Elwood School. They have more than doubled their membership in just two years and this year they qualified 21 state competitors for the State FFA Convention.

Mascot: Pirates

Interesting Fact: We’ve been successful at attracting PHS graduates back to Plainview to teach. Our superintendent, most of our bd members, and nearly 1/2 of our staff are PHS Alumni. We’re adding another former Pirate to our teaching staff this fall!
