To all Bus 53 and 58 families, Bus 53 will run a double route this afternoon. It will complete its normal route and then return to transport Bus 58 students. As a result, Bus 58 students may experience a slight delay.
PECHS is proud to celebrate a day of fun and recognition for outstanding attendance. On April 22, 208 students in grades 9-12 traveled to Lynchburg to attend the Hill City Howlers baseball game for Education Day at the ball field. This special trip served as an attendance incentive for students who missed no more than two days of school, excused or unexcused, between January 6 and March 12. With five buses filled with students, staff, and parent chaperones, the day was a well-earned reward that highlighted the value of showing up and staying committed to school each day. A special shoutout goes to Mrs. Kandra Woodson, our CTE and Attendance Secretary, for helping make this opportunity possible. We are so proud of our students and thankful to everyone who helped make the day such a success. 💜💛
