main image

What a glorious celebration of Homecoming at PCA as students of all ages enjoyed a variety of fun-filled activities! 

Upper School students enjoyed dress up days throughout the week including Disney Character Day and Celebrity Day, while our entire school participated in Blue & Gold Spirit Day on Friday. We enjoyed seeing the incredible costumes of our students and our faculty, who made it memorable with their spirit days ensembles! 

Also on Friday, we celebrated our Fighting Eagles with a spirited pep rally that culminated with a huge win for the Senior Class in the tug-of war competition, as they secured the final victory over a very determined faculty team! A special thanks to Heather Howard, Jana Estes and Laura Broach for planning the event! 

Later that night, PCA families and fans enjoyed Friday Night Lights at its best with an enthusiastic home crowd, a talented cheer squad, and an adorable mini cheer performance at halftime! The festivities continued with the crowning of our new Homecoming Queen, Olivia Horne, and Homecoming King, Kendall Chakeris! PCA Alumni, and last year's king and queen, Ocean Dybowski and Anne Gregory Horton, joined us for the big moment.

The celebration didn't stop there as we all watched our PCA Fighting Eagles dominate Wardlaw Academy with an 56-0 victory! What an amazing week to be an Eagle!!! 

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!
