🎃 Pumpkin Decorating Contest at PCHS! 🎃
Staff and Students! Get ready to squash the competition, Chargers!
When we return from Fall Break (October 20–24), it’s time to show off your creativity and fall spirit by bringing in a decorated pumpkin! Paint it, dress it up, or give it a fun theme — the more creative, the better!
✨ Important Details:
No carved pumpkins — decorated or painted only!
All decorating must be done at home before bringing your pumpkin to school.
All pumpkins must be school appropriate.
Bring your pumpkin to the Guidance Office first for check-in before it’s placed on display in the cafeteria.
Deadline: Pumpkins must be turned in by Tuesday, October 28.
🍁 Pumpkin Display: October 27–31 in the cafeteria
👻 Winner Announced: Halloween Day!
🏆 Prize: The winning pumpkin’s creator will report to the Guidance Department and see Mrs. Cindy Mills to claim their prize!
So grab a pumpkin over break, get crafty, and bring your best creation to school when we return — let’s make the cafeteria gourd-geous!
Our school lunches are better than your school lunches! Thank you you our cafeteria staff. #school lunches rock

On September 24th, all 13 of our members traveled to Danville, IN to attend the Indiana FCCLA (Family, Career and Community Leaders of America) Fall Leadership Rally — marking the first time our entire chapter has gone together! 🙌
Our students joined over 500 other FCCLA members from across the state, where they were inspired by an uplifting and motivational message from Tim Wiese, who shared the keys to being a great leader and encouraged everyone to FEEL GREAT! 💪✨
Afterward, members took part in hands-on workshops, focused on traffic safety and smart driving, gaining valuable knowledge to bring back home.
They’re already excited and can’t wait to attend again next year! ❤️

The PCHS robotics team is competing the FIRST Tech Challenge this year and are working on their robot. Making progress, but they are looking for more team members and adult mentors to work with the students. If interested, please contact Mark Scott at markscott@pcsc.k12.in.us. Students can catch Mr. Scott at school during homeroom if interested.
Mr. Scott's Precision Machining classes have been collecting aluminum cans as a fundraiser. Recently, they took 7 barrels of crushed cans to recycling. Based on weight, they had approximately 7900 cans! That's a lot of cans kept out of the landfill. If anyone has aluminum cans they would like to donate, just contact Mr. Scott at markscott@pcsc.k12.in.us
Mr. Lamey and Mrs. Richardson met with the sophomores and juniors today to discuss options for Work-Based Learning that are available for them as seniors. Lots of opportunities for students if they keep the grades up and have good attendance. If any parents have questions, reach out to the Guidance Department or Mr. Brad Lamey.
Last week, on the Day of Caring, the National Honor Society worked at Pride's Creek for the day. Students painted Halloween decorations helping get the Park ready for the upcoming holiday. They did an awesome job!
Would You Rather: Live in a Futuristic City or a Charming, Historical Village? Let's us know what you think. Looking forward to seeing choices and why.
Our FFCLA organization is AWESOME! They will be recycling paper from the school , shredding it, combining it with scraps from the cafeteria and transform it into compost. That compost will be fed to their worm farm, which in turn will produce nutrient-rich worm castings. These are a natural fertilizer which will be use to help nourish our very own Charger Garden and greenhouse. The Charger Garden helps provide vegetables and herbs that are used in the foods classes and even by our cafeteria!
Feel free to view or visit the Charger Garden located on the west side of the greenhouse. Our staff and students rock!

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!
PCHS offers a Strength and Conditioning class that is available to any student for PE credit. Great for anyone who wants to physically better themselves, this class is a available. Great option for 2nd semester. If your child is interested, they will need to talk with their guidance counselor. Check out the monthly newsletter that Mr. Kramer puts out for this class. http://bit.ly/47GiMWB
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.
