Pana CUSD 8

Today, Pana High School's PE classes honored the heroes of 9/11 by taking on the 9/11 Stair Challenge. Students climbed the equivalent of 110 flights of stairs in remembrance of the first responders who bravely climbed the Twin Towers to save others.

We are proud of our students for showing strength, resilience, and respect as they learned the importance of remembering those who sacrificed everything that day. ❤️🤍💙 #NeverForget #911StairChallenge #WeRemember

Last night, one of our buses carrying the Pana High School football team caught fire while traveling on Route 16. All students, staff, and coaches were safely evacuated, and no injuries occurred. We are proud of the calm response of our bus driver, coaches, and players, and we are deeply grateful to the Witt Fire Department, EMS, Montgomery County Sheriff’s Department, Illinois DNR, and all first responders for their quick action. The safety of our students remains our top priority, and we are thankful this incident ended without injury.
