COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT | THANK YOU LOWE’S


The Principal and College & Career Coaches at Pine Bluff High School would like to extend a huge THANK YOU to Store Manager Aaron Rose and Lowe’s Home Improvement for their generous donation of tables for our upcoming College & Career Fair!


A special shoutout also goes to former student and 2015 Pine Bluff High School Graduate Michael Sission for stepping in to help load and transport the tables.


We truly value our community partners, who help ensure that our students have the resources and opportunities they need to build bright futures. Your support makes a real difference — and you are a part of what makes Zebra Nation better every day!
