Welcome to the Pampa ISD

Heritage Room

The Heritage Room was established in 2013 to provide the Pampa community with a room dedicated to the history (past and present) of PISD.

The Heritage Room is located in the PISD Administration Building and is open during business hours. It is also available at other times and to class reunions. Please contact the administration building for information.

The Heritage Room contains several items from the past involving athletics, choir, band, drama, etc. It also has some permanent displays with Randy Matson, Mary Jane Rose, Warren Hasse, and Carver High School. Three computer screens are available for viewing yearbooks from 1921 to the present and categories of interests about Pampa ISD. One large screen runs perpetually with items of interest.

The Heritage Room on a yearly basis is responsible for the Hall of Fame Inductees’ display and for the Harvester Spotlight display which was created for persons who are no longer with us but who had an impact on Pampa ISD. There is also a temporary display that is located next to the receptionist’s desk. Some of the topics displayed: 1980’s PHS Girls’ Track; Graduation; Vocational; Spring Sports; School Supplies; and Apparel.

The Heritage Room is a working museum. The goal is to keep accepting items of PISD memorabilia. Items such as class rings, clothing, yearbooks, and programs from choir, band, athletics, and elementary/junior high are always accepted. It is asked that items be donated. Please call the administration building for the procedure to donate items. Pampa ISD Administration 806-669-4700

Harvester Spotlight

The Harvester Spotlight started because the Hall of Fame requires the inductee to be present, and we are finding so many who have accomplished so much but have passed away or did not graduate from PHS. Criteria for the Harvester Spotlight:

1. Can but does not have to be a graduate of Pampa HS.
2. Can be alive or dead.
3. Contributed/Impacted/Influenced Pampa ISD in some way - taught, coached, etc.
4. Achieved great things in his/her life but has passed away.

Coach Steve Porter, Harvester Spotlight

Coach Steve Porter played baseball at South Plains Junior College(1965-1967)and graduated from West Texas State University in 1970. In 1970 he was drafted by the military and spent two years in Africa with the U.S. Army. In 1972 he began his teaching career at Pampa Junior High (downtown). For twelve years he taught history and coached. In 1985 Coach Porter moved to Pampa High School and coached 9th grade athletics while assisting with varsity sports. He taught advanced placement history classes, government, and economics with a flare using the guitar to inspire his students. Coach Porter retired in 2010 with 38 years of coaching and teaching.
