Welcome Our Newest Team Members
Please help us welcome two additional administrative staff members to Pike Road Schools.
Mrs. Lisa Highfield is our new Special Education Coordinator. Mrs. Highfield has served as Special Education Director at Lauderdale County Schools and as Supervisor of Student Services at Muscle Shoals City Schools. Her most recent experience has been with the Alabama Department of Education as a Special Education Administrator. She has three degrees, including special education and administration
from the University of North Alabama.
Mr. Bryan Cutter is joining our team as an additional Assistant Principal. He is a former music teacher at Wilson Elementary School. He has one year of administrative internship experience, three years of building level leadership, and six years of teaching experience. He has two degrees from Auburn University and two from Alabama State University. He is currently working on this doctorate at Alabama State University.
We are thrilled to have these two administrators join the existing PRS Leadership Team, which consists of Dr. Suzanne Freeman, Superintendent/Principal, Mrs. Angela Lang, Assistant Principal, Mr. Ryan Kendall, IT, and Dustin Daehn, Chief School Finance Officer. Having additional administrative staff will enable the PRS Leadership Team to be more responsive to the needs of learners, lead learners, and parents.
Mrs. Stickle is our newest special education teacher. She will work primarily with kindergarten through second grade learners. She is a graduate of Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia and is currently pursuing a Masters of Education at Auburn University Montgomery. She has served in the United States Air Force. We welcome Mrs. Stickle to our PRS Team!

Parents, thank you for the continuous support and confidence you have placed Pike Road Schools. We look forward to the remainder of this school year and appreciate your cooperation as we work together to ensure your child’s safety. Please remind your child of the following safety expectations:
Students should remain at the assigned bus stop until the bus has arrived;
Students should not play at the bus stop, in the street, or neighborhood lawns;
Students should remain at the bus stop until the bus has come to a complete stop and opens the passenger door;
Students should walk in an orderly manner to board the bus;
Students should remain seated and face the front at all times;
Students should be respectful of other students through their actions and words; and
Upon exiting the bus, students should not walk back in front of the bus or reach under the bus for any reason even to retrieve dropped items.
KEEPING OUR PATRIOTS SAFE IS OUR NUMBER ONE PRIORITY!

Please be mindful of the following regarding parking:
Once the main parking lots are full, please park on the perimeter road around the school; park as close to the edge of the road without going off the road. This will enable other vehicles to pass. Be aware that there is no curb; if you get off the road, it will damage the grass and possibly the irrigation system. You may also park in the open field area perpendicular to the school. Please park in an orderly manner so that we can maximize parking.
Also, please enter through the side cafeteria doors and pay admission for each game. We need this revenue for our athletic program.
