(Editor's comment)

From our archives:

April 1946

(After seven years of hard work, hampered by wartime interruptions and serious labor problems, the one-time "choked up" Pocomoke River, which drains a large portion of lower Delaware when it is in working order, flows freely again. The biggest drainage job east of the Mississippi is completed and all is in readiness for landowners to clean out ditches leading into the river so as to drain their wet fields.)

Time←←Machine: 100 years ago this week in Pocomoke City's newspaper, plus 1999- Pocomoke High advances to prestigious award competition.

 

FROM OUR ARCHIVES
November 1999

Salisbury Daily Times

The Pocomoke Public Eye says: 

We asked AI how Pocomoke ranked in the national competition and was given the following reply.

Pocomoke High School did not "place" in any ranking because the National Blue Ribbon Schools Program is an honor-based recognition rather than a ranked competition.

Instead of competing for numerical places (like first or second), schools are nominated and evaluated against strict criteria to either receive or not receive the designation. Pocomoke High School successfully earned the prestigious Blue Ribbon School designation during the 1999–2000 state cycle and was formally recognized as a national recipient in 2001.
