How do our golfers stay on top of practice during poor weather? They head to the simulator at Short Drive of course. The District is fortunate to collaborate with this innovative local business to support its student-athletes.
Best student-athletes, best coaches, best local businesses, best team!

A bus ride to the Toronto airport, a layover in Reykjavik, and touchdown in Dublin! We wish PCS' travelers a safe, and exciting trip to the Emerald Isle. Stay tuned to the District's social media for tour updates from Ireland.
If you are out-and-about on Main Street over spring recess, check out our 2nd Grade students' artwork at Old Souls Bakery. Thank you Mrs. Adolf for creating another local art show that displays our students' talents.
Best artists, best teachers, best local businesses, best team!

We have been checking with multiple sources and believe the last time we hosted a varsity tennis match on school grounds (Old Tennis Courts) was the mid-'70s (PCS Tennis Alumni feel free to provide additional information).
This would mean today's varsity tennis match with Livonia is the first time in approximately 50 years the varsity tennis team has played a home match on school grounds.
We would like to thank our community for our amazing tennis/pickleball courts, and bringing varsity tennis back to PCS.

Yesterday, PCS student-athletes Brady Kelly, Keira Weber, Tyler Harvey, Abby Herring, and Madi Monteleone attended the Section V Sportsmanship Summit at SUNY Geneseo. They participated in workshops throughout the day that included team-building games, a mindfulness session with Erica Ebert, and a "Pause Before You Post" session led by Fairport Coach Scott Fitch. #PrideInTheHive
A total solar eclipse will sweep across our area on April 8, creating, if observed safely, an incredible real-life science lesson for students (and adults). Mrs. Adolf and some of her elementary art classes are joining the fun by learning more about this phenomenon and creating artwork inspired by what they will see that day. #PrideInTheHive
Senior guard Jaelyn Morris was one of only three girls from the LCAA selected to play in the Ronald McDonald All-Star Game. At the conclusion of the game this past Saturday, Jaelyn was named the Gold Team's Most Valuable Player. Congratulations!!!! #PrideInTheHive

We have to give a huge shoutout to Perry FFA and Mrs. Huttar for bringing so much Pride to the Hive these days!
Sophomore Sawyer West is running for District 9 president! He’s had to give a speech and sit through an interview. On April 14, he will find out if he’s one of two candidates that will be recommended to advance to the state level for official voting.
Junior Noelle Milhollen has started the rigorous process of running for the state FFA office, and will be participating in interviews on April 12-13. State officers will be voted on at the State Convention in May.
We had several FFA members place in the Substates Leadership Development Events this past weekend but, unfortunately, won’t advance to the state level. We’re so proud of the work these students have put into their competitions!
- Parliamentary Procedure – 4th Place – Paige Roberts, Avery Dueppengiesser, Noelle Milhollen, Courtney Westfall, Logan Church and Abbey Paddock

On Saturday, the Arts Council for Wyoming County closed the Elementary Exhibition with an awards ceremony for all of the participating students. Mrs. Adolf, Ms. Hankey, and Ms. Bellamy, along with families, were on hand to celebrate our talented student-artists! #PrideInTheHive
Mrs. Kramell’s freshmen English students are hitting the stage today to perform scenes from Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet.” Gretchen Didio, an actress and educator from Shakespeare in Delaware Park, has spent one day a week for the last six weeks at PHS helping students better understand the play and how to tackle the text from an actor’s perspective. Students are performing one scene, with Didio providing feedback. PCSD has had the opportunity to bring guest artists in to work with students the last couple of years thanks to the Arts for Learning WNY, in partnership with Chautauqua Institute. #PrideInTheHive
Kudos to the Sr. High band and Mr. Hirsch on an incredible performance last night at Houghton University! The group collaborated with the university's wind ensemble and Dr. Timothy McGarvey on this project. #PrideInTheHive (Thanks to Miss Priv for the photos)
Evan, Jacob, Logan, Noelle, Kayden, and Mrs. Caccamise spent yesterday on Capitol Hill! The Close Up experience in Washington, D.C. has been a memorable one for this group. #PrideInTheHive
Our Chapter 1 Page Turners are currently taking on teams from Mount Morris, York, Livonia and Geneseo at the spring competition right here at PES. Glancing around the ES/JH auditorium, it's evident how excited the students are to finally be able to put their hard work to the test. It’s also clear that loved ones are just as eager for the opportunity to cheer on their favorite readers. Good luck to all! #PrideInTheHive
