**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. **
Page County Technical Center:
Principal: Mrs. Leigh Ann Pettit
Mrs. Leigh Ann Pettit is in her 5th year as the principal at the Page County Technical Center and before that she was Assistant Principal for 5 years for Luray High School. When asked to name something someone had done for her recently, she explained that while she was on quarantine, her family, friends, and the wonderful staff at PCTC blessed her with an abundance of thoughtful porch drop-offs.
She says, "if I could give advice to my younger self, I'd say, wait on God's timing with joyful faithfulness, because he does work all things for our good, no matter how difficult the circumstances may seem."
Thank you, Mrs. Pettit, for all you do for Page County Technical Center. You are greatly appreciated.
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.
