On Wednesday, September 9th, PCSST welcomed parents and guardians to our campus for our annual Back-to-School Night! Families got a firsthand look at what our Grades 8–12 campus offers during our campus-wide Open House, stepping into their students’ daily routines and exploring our classrooms and learning spaces. Attendees gained valuable insights into our academic programs, college readiness initiatives, and student support services through our dedicated info sessions, while also connecting directly with teachers, administrators, and fellow PCSST parents. Thank you to everyone who joined us to build a strong, collaborative foundation for an incredible school year ahead!
