Upcoming 9th Grade Registration
Families of 8th grade students will soon receive registration documents for high school course selection from your middle school counselors. Please review all the current PCS Program of Studies 2026-27 for more details on course offerings, course descriptions, graduation requirements, and so much more. This will help to prepare a plan for graduation and a pathway for success in the course registration process. PCS Course Level Overview will help families understand the difference between a standard course, an honors course, an Advanced Placement (AP) course, and a college level (CFCC) course and the expectations.- Heide Trask High School Middle School Transition Fair for rising 9th graders is Tuesday, January 27, 2026 5:30-7:00pm
