On December 6, 2024, at approximately 1:1 5 pm, our campus was placed on temporary lockdown while the Pana Police Department responded to a report of concerning activity in the high school parking lot. The matter was thoroughly investigated by the Pana Police Department. No threat was found to our students and staff.
Teamwork makes the dream work! 🤝 We're proud to recognize our amazing students and staff at PES who exemplify this important character trait. Let's give a big round of applause to our teamwork superstars! 👏
One of the greatest learning days of the year for 6th and 8th grade Language Arts students at PJHS! 8th grade Language Arts students headed back to 6th grade to mentor 6th grade Language Arts students in writing. This is such a unique experience for everyone involved! The 8th graders have the opportunity to show off the writing skills they have learned during their time at PJHS . The 6th graders are able to see what they, too, can accomplish as writers. This opportunity to see the growth of generations of writers at PJHS is unlike any other. We are so proud of PJHS students for building such a unique writing community! ❤️✏️
