Tiger Update
Information/Updates about Pickerington High School Central
Message from Mr. Lanier
Tiger Nation
Below is part of a message that I sent to our staff to begin this week:
"March is the month of expectations!!" March truly is the month when we are moving out of winter and into spring. With it comes the expectations of better weather; longer days; time spent outside; and a renewed focus that leads to better productivity. Manage these expectations so as not to feel overwhelmed by them but to embrace the opportunities that they bring to you.
This same concept applies to our students. We have a lot to accomplish in our final 3 months of school together. Let's take it one day at a time and stay focused on the importance of enjoying our time together.
Have a great weekend,
Mr. Lanier
