2021 Yearbook Cover Featured In Josten's Look Book!

Each year the PCA yearbook team strives to produce a yearbook that aesthetically reflects the story of PCA’s staff and students. Not only did the 2020-2021 yearbook team of Mary Grace Booker, Kaila Guyan, Jordan Benfield, Emily Shaw, and Haley Tyler achieve this goal, they also got recognized in the Look Book, Josten’s annual “best of the best” publication, for their cover!

“I am so proud of this group of hard-working and driven young ladies,” said Yearbook Advisor Melanie Rodgers. “In the midst of COVID they not only produced an amazing yearbook, but their work was recognized in a book that showcases the best of the best yearbooks submitted to Josten’s. They should be very proud of all they accomplished last year.”

A team of experts chose 458 yearbooks from nearly 1,000 submitted to be featured in the Look Book, which will go out to 11,000 high schools throughout the United States, Canada, and Internationally.

Congratulations to last year's team!!!

Student Council Keeps Our Streets Clean!

“Clean up, clean up, everybody, everywhere” was the theme song as Lower School Student Council embarked on a community service project on Saturday, April 23. The group partnered with Charleston Surfrider to clean the main and side streets on Sullivan’s Island. Marlow, our clean up guide, discussed the importance of picking up trash not only on the beach, but also the streets near the beach as it would quickly reach the water. With bags, gloves, and vests, the lower school student council members and families went to work!

The most common item collected was cigarette butts, but the group also found many plastic cups, aluminum cans, metal car parts, pool noodles, and even Christmas lights! One student found a smart watch near the local elementary school, and they were able to return it back to the child that lost it! The project was a wonderful success. Many thanks to Ms. Hanzsche for her hard working organizing this event!
