Mrs. William's Geometry classes have been studying angle relationships. The classes went out to enjoy the weather and have a little fun with their lessons. Students created equations and problems for their classmates to solve.

Mr. Howald's Construction Trades classes are very thankful for the generous donation from Petersburg Hardware. Their donation of nails, screws and drill bits will make a huge difference. Look to follow and see what they are building this year!

Mr. Igel and Pike Central seniors welcomed Congressman Mark Messmer on Aug 15 to the Vance Hay's Auditorium. Mr. Messmer spoke to students about why he ran for office and all the offices he has held. He also spoke with students about many aspects of representative democracy, our constitution and valuable information on different aspects of our federal government. The floor was then open to questions from the students. Thank you Congressman Messmer for sharing your morning with our students.

P.C. Broadcasting visited the Elmer Buchta Technology Center to participate in the Powered by Pike event. Students planned to interview various guests to discuss coal mining, AES, and solar panels. They also toured the building and saw some of the history surrounding Pike County coal mines. The group plans to make a documentary on Pike County's role in energy production. Looking forward to another great year of broadcasts and other videos!
