Mr. Igel’s Government and Economics classes hosted two Indiana state representatives, District 63 House of Representatives, Shane Lindauer and Senate District 48, Daryl Schmitt. Every year, Mr. Igel tries to bring our state representatives in to talk to the seniors about the political process at the state level. Also, the students get to hear responses from letters they wrote to these politicians. There were many issues discussed, but the main focus was public school funding. Pike Central students were very passionate about their school and on this day they were educated about funding and issues that go along with it. What an experience for these students! Thanks, Mr. Igel for making this possible for our seniors.

Our high school culinary students have been hard at work mastering the science behind baking!
Over the past few weeks, students learned about the roles of different baking ingredients, proper wet-to-dry ratios, baking temperatures, and baking times. For their final assessment, they were given a true challenge: create an original cookie recipe using only the knowledge they’ve gained in class — no cookbooks, no internet research, and no outside recipes.
We are proud to say they rose to the occasion! The students did a fantastic job applying what they’ve learned and created some truly delicious cookies.
One standout recipe has been chosen to be featured at the Pike County Chamber of Commerce Annual Dinner! Taylor Skinner's creation will be added to line of desserts the culinary arts class are making for the event! Congratulations

Students will be taking their knowledge to the bleachers as they broadcast a Charger basketball game. It was great to have Mr. Stuckey back at PCHS.

Mrs. Hunt’s Animal Science class has been learning about the horse industry and had the opportunity to learn hands-on and recently visited Freedom Reins Therapeutic Riding Center to explore a sector of the horse industry. Students began by learning important horse safety practices before heading to the barn to discuss feeding, watering, veterinary care, daily routines, and how to properly muck a stall.
Next, they moved to the arena where they practiced grooming, picking horses' feet, and safely walking the horses. Freedom Reins wrapped up the visit by talking about their program and all the benefits of serving those who need the therapeutic services, and how to become a volunteer.
The students did a fantastic job and truly enjoyed the hands-on experience working with the horses!
