📚🐾❤️ Help Us Complete Magnolia History! 🐾❤️📚

Did you know that The Magnolian yearbook has been capturing Panther memories for generations? 🐾 The very first Magnolian was published in 1925, capturing moments from the 1924-1925 school year.

As we work to preserve the rich history of Magnolia High School, we've discovered that we're missing several editions of The Magnolian and need your help filling in the gaps!

We're currently searching for the following years:

📕 1926 through 1966
📕 1971
📕 1973
📕 1980
📕 1986
📕 1987
📕 1993

If you have one of these yearbooks tucked away on a bookshelf, stored in an attic, or passed down through your family, we'd love to hear from you! We are interested in receiving donated copies of these missing years to help preserve Magnolia's history for future generations. ❤️🖤

🐾 Alumni, former staff, and community members: Please check your collections and help us spread the word by sharing this post!

Every yearbook tells a story, and together we can ensure that the story of Magnolia High School and Magnolia School District remains complete. 📖✨

📩 If you have one of these editions and would not mind donating it to MSD or know someone who might, please comment below or contact Magnolia School District at 870-234-4933.

❤️🐾📣 Happy National Mascot Day to Our Favorite Panther, Paw Paw! 📣🐾❤️

Today we're celebrating one of Magnolia High School's most beloved traditions—Paw Paw the Panther! ❤️🖤🐾

Our very first Paw Paw dates back to the 1984-1985 school year, when Genievieve McDonald proudly served as the mascot. Since then, generations of Panthers have brought school spirit, excitement, and unforgettable memories to life through this iconic role! 📣❤️

This year, we're proud to recognize Senior Mackenzie Mayberry as our beloved Paw Paw! A former varsity cheerleading flyer, Mackenzie decided to trade in her hair bows 🎀 for a Panther suit and bring energy, entertainment, and Panther Pride to every game and event.

From Friday night lights 🏈 to pep rallies 📣 and championship celebrations 🏆, Paw Paw has been the heart of Panther spirit for decades!

🐾❤️ Calling All Alumni Paw Paws! ❤️🐾

Were YOU Paw Paw during your time at Magnolia High School?

📣 Your favorite Paw Paw memory

Let's celebrate the Panthers who have kept the spirit alive through the years! ❤️🖤🐾
