Middle School Launches Student Government Association

The results are in from the Middle School SGA applications! Here are your student leaders: 

President: Greta Anderson
Vice President: Sophia Ralph
Secretary: Laura Horne

8th grade representative: Daniel Stewart
7th grade representatives: Liza Klassen and Grace Parker
6th grade representatives: Teagan Delaney and Jessi Mathis

Headed by Middle School Leadership teacher John Harris, this year's Middle School SGA is a first for PCA. "I have had the current 8th graders since 6th grade," Harris said when asked why he wanted to start a Middle School SGA. "We wanted ...to give middle school something that is their own...to create comradery, and to help cultivate school spirit." 

While finding out the results of the applications only this morning, Harris says the plan is to focus on a community service project each semester. "We want to create servant leaders through community service projects, as well as have the students listen to and get feedback from their peers."

Their first work as a team? Coming up with a 6th and 7th grade focused Homecoming activity to do on Friday to end the Homecoming Spirit Week festivities.

We know that these up-and-coming PCA leaders are going to make the school proud!

 

PCA Student Makes Verbal Commitment To D1 School

Congratulations to senior Ava Romfo who has verbally committed to UNCG to play Women's Golf. UNCG is an NCAA Division 1 school playing in the southern conference. The campus has approximately 18,000 students.  

"I really believe this is an incredible opportunity for me to grow both in golf and in academics," says Ava.  "UNCG is finishing up a new nursing building that will be done in the spring, which is what I am thinking about studying. The opportunity seemed provide the things I needed in a school and team, and I am so excited to see what the future holds for me at UNCG."

While Ava has spent years training and perfecting her game, she says the offer developed rather quickly earlier this month. The UNCG Women's Golf coach texted her a few weeks ago as Ava was traveling home from a golf tournament. The two talked later that night and at the end of the conversation, she was offered a spot on the team. Due to COVID, the school was not offering personal tours, but Ava traveled to Greensboro to visit the campus on her own, and accepted the offer! 

We are super proud of you Ava and can't wait to cheer you on at the collegiate level!
