Man On The Street: The New Weapon Detection System
Welcome to The Cougar Growl If you’re reading this, then that means you have taken the time to at least browse through this first edition of our new school newspaper. On behalf of the many students who have taken the time to work on this project, we thank you! The students at Pulaski County High School are eager to learn and eager to work. This product is just another example of that fact. Our students are also eager to express their creativity. Again, this body of work is just another great example of that. Our goal is for this to be a regular part of the Pulaski County High School culture, with a new edition coming out every two weeks. This will allow us to get a steady stream of information out with all of the good things that are happening at our school. The students will write the stories and take the pictures. This will be their story. We will include student and teacher spotlights, school history, sports, events, current events, and more. For the students who want to share poetry, we will gladly help share. For clubs and school organizations that need to advertise what they’re doing, we’ll be more than happy to help. Being a part of Pulaski County High School can include a few trying moments from time-to-time, but there are also plenty of great things that happen here which deserve to be recognized and celebrated. On behalf of the 28 (at last count) students who have taken on the challenge of putting together this newspaper, we thank you for taking a moment to check us out, and invite you to come back next time.

This week, I went around the school trying to get everybody’s opinion about something important to the school. The question I asked these students and staff members was, “What is your opinion on the new weapon detection system?” I received many broad answers, here they are.
Ashanti Martin: “I think they’re good for the school but it takes longer to get into school, i think they have sped up a bit but i wish they weren’t here.”
Selena Compton: “I think they are good at detecting weapons and keeping the school safe, but I don’t like that it goes off for things like my eyelash curler.”
Jillian Gallimore: “I don’t mind it, it’s not that bad, it’s a pretty quick process and it’s easy.”
Anius Slaughter: “I thought at first they were kind of tedious and made things hard, but as things moved along and people under- stood it more it became a very safe thing and is pretty easy.”
Aspen Sargent: “I hate them because they make me go through multiple times, they shouldn’t be here”
The Cougar Growl Re-Established March 28, 2025 A publication of Pulaski County High School. Stories and photos are written and taken by students unless otherwise noted. Mrs. Jennifer Bolling Principal Mr. David Gravely
Jennifer Bolling: “Big picture, I like it, big picture. I was very concerned about the time consuming portion but now that it’s a part of the routine we are 100% in a routine with everyone and the best part is i get to speak to everyone who gets to school everyday!”
Adiauna Gallimore “I think they are use- less because people will find a way to sneak things in no matter what.”
Publisher/Editor Student Writers Eden Bowman Selena Compton Leo Schreiber Abigail Davis Brianna Dunn Rayce Fox Hailey Garlick Ryleigh Hill Gavin Lancaster Ryan Mann Nevaeh Newman
Andrew Clark: “They make the school safer but they can be a bit troublesome at times.”

Lana Seagraves: “They’re okay, i hate taking out my chromebook every morning and im- mediately putting it back in my bag”
I interviewed seven students and one staff member. A majority of these people favor the weapon detectors. Only two people disliked them out of the eight total. Overall people enjoy and like the weapon detectors, but all share the same concern about being late to class or having to go back and forth over small harmless items. After some time people started getting used to them and now everything is much easier than at first. Now students don’t have to worry about being late to class and neither do teach- ers.
