What an amazing week we just had at PCHS. On Tuesday we held two incredible events for our students. The mock crash event was powerful and helped our Juniors and Seniors understand the impact of their choices. Our college fair was attended by over 15 colleges and universities as well as our military branches and provided every student that attended the opportunity to gather information and make connections with the representatives on hand as they plan their next steps after high school. We completed Pre-ACT and NC Check-ins testing. The students in our academic success class presented their journey through this year of high school in powerful and moving demonstrations of determination and perseverance. We also had engaging field trips for our AIG, FFA, Science, and Aquaculture students. Finally we had an outstanding prom. A special THANK YOU to Mrs. Kelly Russell and her helpers for the hours of planning, preparing scenery, and organizing such a wonderful event for our students. PCHS is blessed to be able to offer so many opportunities to our students.
This week at PCHS offers a new set of opportunities for our students to be engaged and to grow.
Monday we wish our golf team well as they compete in the Regional finals in Little Washington.
Tuesday our Men's and Women's track teams will compete in the conference championship meet at John A. Holmes in Edenton and our baseball and softball teams will travel to Gates County for their games.
Thursday we will have Senior night for our Spring sports teams prior to the start of their games. Women's Soccer will host Camden at 5:00 and our baseball and softball teams will host Gates County at 6.
Friday we will administer the AP US History Exam. A Regional Job Fair will be held in the media center at PCHS for our Seniors. We have a variety of businesses coming on this day to recruit and potentially hire our Seniors for career building opportunities. The job fair will be from 10 to 1. Finally on Friday our AIG students in grades 11 and 12 will go on a field trip to King's Dominion.
