POMONKEY HIGH SCHOOL ALUMNI ASSOCIATION, INC.
“Our goal for 2026 is to start remodeling the inside of the old Pomonkey High School Building. I am often asked, “Do you think we will ever get the building finished?” My response is yes, and we can do it, but we need your help. We can reach more people with the help of the organized graduating classes. I would like to challenge the following classes 59, 62, 64, 65, 66, 67 to send out emails or letters to their classmates with 2026 Membership/Donation Forms and encourage them to join. It is not too late if you are looking for a tax write off for 2025. Remember we are 501c3 and your contributions are tax deductible.”
“We are exploring ways we can stay connected with members. We now have 143 people on our Pomonkey High School Alumni Association Facebook page; we have emails for some of the registered members. If you are not included in the email blast, please contact me with your email at jacbak@comcast.net.” Information from PHSAA NOVEMBER 2025 Newsletter Jacqueline L. Baker, President.

DUAL IN THE SCHOOLS EXPANSION
“For years dual enrollment has helped our high school students earn college credit while still in high school to take those classes without ever leaving the school building. That is about to change. Along with Prince George County Executive Aisha N. Braveboy and the County Council, they announced the expansion of tuition-free college courses to be offered within every PGCPS high school by the 2026–27 school year. The program is growing from five schools to nine this school year and will reach all 25 high schools next school year.
Courses will be taught by PGCPS educators credentialed as PGCC adjunct professors, creating new pathways for professional growth while expanding college learning within our schools. #PGCPSProud.
