    The Gymnasium will be closed on the mornings of Monday, September 18 - Wednesday, September 20 in preparation for the Investments in Learning Assembly. Students are asked to remain in the Commons and blue locker bank until the morning dismissal bell rings.


    Homecoming Guest Forms are now available in the front office. These forms must be completed in full for any Homecoming guest who is not enrolled at PCHS.  The deadline to submit forms to Mrs. Alger in the front office is Friday, September 29.

    The Investments in Learning Assembly 
    is scheduled for Wednesday, September 20, 2017.  During this assembly
    the faculty and staff of Pulaski County High School will honor the students who have achieved high academic standards and/or perfect attendance during the previous school year.  The Class of 2018 nominees for the Most Valuable Cougar will also be named.  The Most Valuable Cougar is the highest recognition given to a student by our school.  Nominees were chosen by the senior class and the winner of the Most Valuable Cougar award will be revealed at the Senior Awards Assembly in May 2019.

    The assembly will conclude with the Graduation Excitement Campaign.  During this $100 cash give-away, any student who passed an end-of-course SOL test or an Industry Credential in the previous school year will have their name entered in to the drawing.  Our goal this year is to give out 70 awards or $7,000 in student incentives.  Please contact Mrs. Alger (643-0230) if you are interested in donating to this campaign.
