Coming from a family full of public school educators gave me confidence in the resources and systems in place to ensure that children don’t fall through the cracks. We know PCSD was the right choice because our autistic son has absolutely thrived in an environment that encourages him to rise to his potential and also meets him where he’s at.

Our love for this district not only comes from a line of passionate family educators and seeing their love and commitment for their students, but also the community and culture of belonging they have created... one where you become family with the faculty. We have received tremendous support from countless teachers who have gone above and beyond the call of duty to give our child purpose and confidence.

As a lifetime resident of Pocatello, I find comfort having my children attend the same schools I went to as a child. I have experienced excellent communication from Wilcox, as well as multiple opportunities to be involved with my child's education.

In SD25, our children are part of a community where the principal knows them by name and teachers work closely with families to support student success. By incorporating student interests into the classroom, the school ensures every child is engaged and supported. It is the perfect fit for our family.

We chose public school here in Pocatello because we want our kids to grow up in our community, not just live in it. There’s something special about them learning, playing, and figuring out life alongside the same kids they see at the park, in the neighborhood, and at birthday parties. They get a mix of different personalities, backgrounds, and experiences that we could never create on our own, and that’s part of what helps them grow. Plus, it’s nice knowing we’re all in it together—teachers, families, and kids—doing our best and cheering each other on.

We choose our local public schools because of the strong sense of community, the incredible teachers, and the lasting friendships our kids build with the people they grow up with. We’ve felt so supported at Indian Hills and Irving, and we truly love being part of our neighborhood schools.

We chose our neighborhood public school because it offers a diverse and inclusive environment where children can learn alongside peers from many backgrounds and perspectives. The staff provides a feeling of community, cohesion, and compassion. I knew my child would be given opportunities to grow both inside and outside of the classroom.

Sending our child to Indian Hills was a leap of faith after years of homeschooling with limited academic progress. Indian Hills was absolutely the right choice. The staff has surrounded our child, who has extra academic and health needs, with kindness, safety, and encouragement. His academic progress has exceeded what we thought possible. He goes to school happy every day. Indian Hills isn’t just a school to our family; it’s a community that made learning, and our peace of mind, possible again.

We have had a wonderful experience at Indian Hills. Transitioning from a private school to a public school can be a scary process, but Indian Hills has been awesome. My daughter has really enjoyed her new school; she loves her teachers and has already made several friends. Everyone has made her feel super welcome.

Ashley Carey

In our 24 years living in Pocatello, we’ve raised five kids who have all attended the Pocatello/Chubbuck School District. Our interactions with principals and teachers have shown us they truly care about each student’s growth and success. They provide a supportive, welcoming environment where children are challenged and encouraged to do their best academically and personally. We feel blessed to be a part of this wonderful community of educators and learners.
