Thursday, July 27, 2017

I'm an alum of POBJFK from 1998. I was more prepared for college than any of my fellow students. The teachers at POBJFK are some of the most dedicated in their profession. My biggest regret is that I cannot provide my kids with a Plainview education. I swapped suburban life for rural life. But, my educational values and standards instilled in my from Plainview stay with me. Close Quote
