Parents of Current 8th Grade Students: Don't Miss the Upcoming Freshman Advisement Sessions at Pickens High School
All current 8th grade students and parents/guardians are encouraged to attend one of these two Parent Nights.
These sessions will allow for you and your upcoming Freshman to learn more about the variety of elective courses available to take in the 2016-2017 school year. There will also be opportunities to sit down with a PHS Advisor to discuss academic and elective scheduling options.
If you have any questions, please call Whitney Hancock, your JMS counselor, at 706-253-1760. Questions may also be directed to PHS at 706-253-1800; ask for a counselor or Chad Flatt.
Congratulations Reading Bowl Team!
