Tiger Update
Information/Updates about Pickerington High School Central
Message from Mr. Lanier
We had a nice first week of the semester. It was great to have the students back in the building. Students returned to find some updates to the building designed to build their pride in being a TIger. We've updated Lockville Lobby with a new Pickerington Central Tigers banner; completed our work in the collaboration spaces; hung all of our senior quote signs from previous Central graduation classes throughout the building; and completed the renovation of the Athletic Hall of Fame and trophy display case found in the Commons. You can check out the updates in some pictures below.
In the spirit of renewal, we're challenging our students to set more goals for this quarter with an eye on continuous improvement. Have a conversation with your students around what they would like to improve in their academics; behavior; and attendance. We will continue to build a strong and positive learning community one goal at a time.
Let's Go Tigers,
Mr. Lanier
