Happy New Year Bobcats!
I trust you had a RESTFUL break, filled with the joy of family, friends, and fresh starts in the New Year! There is a LOT to share with you; let’s hit the ground running.
Mandatory College Meeting: ALL JUNIORS and their families are invited to Junior College Night, 1/23 in the PCS Cafeteria at 6pm. We will be going over the brand new PCS College Guide and covering the basics for college admissions.
