Pontotoc Junior High School
Well I go to Pontotoc Junior High and I''m in 7th grade. This school is outstanding in grades and sports. I think it is a great school for any kid to go to. Mr. Tony cook, our principal, does all that he can to help us achieve our goals. He has hung up signs with the grade point average we are striving to reach in every class room.
