Last week, Mr. Ziegler to his Chemistry 2 students to Vincennes University for their "High School Lab Days". Some of the activities included burning snack foods to find calorie content and also synthesizing aspirin. This gave the students a chance to experience a college level lab, see the possibilities and have fun with science.

The students taking construction trades are working on a few projects and plan to finish up a few more. Mr. Elliott was looking for some cases for his kids to display their softball/baseball awards and showed some ideas to the class. They built and stained these for Mr. Elliott. They look very professional. The classes are also working on a large conference table using a slab from a tree and epoxy resin. They are making some progress on this and plan to finish it during the following school year. It will be amazing!

PSA to everyone. There are phishing emails coming from government agencies. Many of these are about unpaid tolls and they warn that failure to pay may result in penalties or licenses suspended. We initially received them from the Indiana Department of Education(or so they say), but I have heard reports of others throughout the State receiving them from other state agencies. The email says it comes from one of the agencies, but the email address is not legit. If you receive any emails that seem suspicious, call the person(or department) directly. DO NOT click on the link or reply to the email. This has nothing to do with Pike County School Corporation, but we just want everyone to be safe. Please share with others so they do not get phished. Below is a screenshot of one of these emails.
We’re proud to announce that Pike Central High School has been named a PLTW 2024-25 Distinguished School for their commitment to increasing student access, engagement, and achievement in their PLTW Biomedical Science, Engineering, and Computer Science programs.

Big congratulations to the Medical Terminology class. They completed both CPR and BLS(Basic Life Support) training provided by Dawn Lehmkuhler. It was a wonderful day and a great way to help prepare our students for future success in the medical field.
