Pike Central High School

Dear Charger Community,

Winters harsh grip persists. Single-digit temperatures and frequent snow and ice storms

continue to necessitate eLearning days for our students. Secondary roads remain

hazardous for school buses and less experienced drivers. However, springs arrival is

imminent, promising April showers and May flowers. Before long, the academic year will

conclude, and our graduating seniors will embark on a new chapter. We trust they will

carry with them the values instilled within these walls: honor, integrity, and

accountability.

🎉 BECAUSE I SAID I WOULD! 🏆

SPEAK UP! Help build each other up and embrace our differences. Please report any student safety concerns. Together, we can make a positive impact! Use the QR code below or go to Pike Central High School's website and use the link under the student section.
