Join us in celebrating the incredible work of our district’s two amazing assistant principals: Angie Matthews (PES) and Ashley Christensen (PHS).
From supporting teachers and students to keeping our buildings running smoothly, they make a huge difference every day. Drop a comment to share a moment when an assistant principal helped you or your student — let’s fill this post with gratitude! 🙌💬

Curious how Chromebooks get fixed? 👀 At the Rochester STEM Fair Wednesday night, PHS Technology Applications students turned their booth into a live repair lab — disassembled laptops, trays of parts, and real-time diagnostics. Senior Head Technician Parker Moore provided mentorship by training a new student on diagnostic and repair processes, enabling more efficient in-house repairs and reducing device downtime for the school. This is the third year Pana students have led Chromebook repair as a student group in the district and it is a strong example of project-based learning that builds technical competence and leadership.
The booth was a part of 80 presenters with over 1000 in attendance for the event! Proud of these Panther technicians! 🛠️💻👏

If you have not yet ordered a yearbook, it must be ordered and paid for before April 15th. Unfortunately, no extras will be ordered, and no late orders will be accepted. If you don't remember if you ordered one, have your student check the list that was posted to their Google Classroom today. Otherwise, you can visit our school store and pay with a credit card, you can pay with cash, or you can make a check or money order out to Pana High School. The cost is $65.

Today was the perfect windy day for Miss Kuhn’s class to put their science skills to the test! 💨
Students headed outside to try out the anemometers they built themselves. Watching their creations spin in the wind, and actually work, was such an exciting moment!
