On Wednesday, new teachers to PCPS began the orientation process for the 2023-2024 school year. These pictures are a bit unique, as they show siblings that now work for PCPS, former Assistants with PCPS that have taken course work to become teachers, and a group picture of PCPS alumnus who are now teachers of PCPS.
