*This week we will be honoring our principals and assistant principals for all of the hard work they do for our students. If you see them out and about, please let them know how much you appreciate them.* Today, we honor our high school and technical center principals and assistant principals. Page County High School: Principal: Mr. David Cale Assistant Principal: Ms. Shannon Hawkins Mr. Cale has been principal of Page County High School for 7 years. He said if he could give advice to his younger self he'd say, "Don't doubt yourself so much, go for it, it won't hurt...I promise." Mr. Cale is also an avid Pittsburgh Steelers fan. Ms. Hawkins is in her 1st year as an Assistant Principal at Page County High School. She says when she was growing up, she wanted to be a Radio City Rockette. Unfortunately, at 5'2" tall, she didn't meet the height requirements of 5'6 to 5'10 1/2. LOL. She says she's enjoying her first year as an assistant and the best part of her job is getting to see the kids everyday and just talking with them. Thank you Mr. Cale and Ms. Hawkins for all you do for Page County High School.

PAGE COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS IS NOW HIRING SCHOOL COUNSELORS! Job Description: https://5il.co/b809 Job Opportunities Page: https://pagecounty.tedk12.com/hire/index.aspx

This afternoon the PCPS central office received a phone call from an unknown individual who did not make a direct threat to anyone in the division but caused concern among the division staff. Out of an abundance of caution, staff contacted the Page County Sheriff’s Office (PCSO) and Luray Police Department (LPD) who responded immediately. Appropriate steps were taken at PCPS schools to continue to ensure student and staff safety. LPD and PCSO personnel were present at all schools throughout the day and at dismissal. There will be additional law enforcement present at evening activities in the division. The LPD and the PCSO will also provide a continued presence at all schools tomorrow. We take all concerns very seriously and will continue to work collaboratively to ensure student and staff safety at all times.

Possible Inclement Weather on Monday, January 24, 2022 PCPS is currently monitoring the possibility of inclement weather tonight that could impact our Monday morning commute to school and work. If a decision is needed to move to a two-hour delay, information will be shared with everyone by 5:30am. More information about our inclement weather procedures can be found on our division webpage or by clicking HERE. Thank you.
