Government committee hearings looked a bit different this year. Thank you, students, for working so hard!
We are excited to announce this week's winners of the "Flying the P" award are the PCHS music students who were selected for the All District Ensembles! The students had the challenging task of video recording their auditions in early October and submitting them for judging to be accepted into the ILMEA ensembles. This year PCHS had 13 students selected to these "virtual ensembles". In lieu of meeting in person, these students will take part in virtual master classes and workshops on two weekends in November. Top placements will be selected for the All-State ensembles in January. PCHS had 2 students that were the highest score among all of the jazz auditions, Sarah Arseneau and Savanna Miller. These students put in hours of work, and in these strange times, they showed that hard work pays off! Please help us in congratulating all of these students!

PCHS students are collecting cans for the Student Council Canned Food Drive! With your help, we are hoping to continue this success.

Canned goods and other non-perishable items (hygiene products, baby food, etc.) will be collected during 5th hour advisory periods.
