Mrs. Paynter, PHS Associate Principal/Athletic Director

I am honored to serve as the Poynette High School Associate Principal and Athletic Director. We have so much to be proud of here at PHS and that is because of all of our wonderful students, families, staff, and community members. Together we create an environment for students to engage, learn, participate, and thrive in, both inside the classroom and in extracurricular activities. This collaboration prepares our students to excel in life after high school, and leaves them with everlasting experiences and memories.
