Hey Fam! Welcome back!
I hope this finds you well-rested, well-fed, and very thankful following the holiday. This year, I know I’m thankful to be a part of the PCS family! I’m also thankful for a successful Fall College Tour led by Ms. Miller and two awesome parents who volunteered their time! Twenty students attended the tours of Mississippi College, Millsaps, and Belhaven University. It was a jam-packed day and we are thankful for all that we learned!
New this week: PSAT Scores are in…check your (or your child’s) College Board account. If you did not put your email on your test, come to my office and I can help you access your scores.
