Pickens Junior High School

It was Club Day at PJHS on Wednesday! As part of the Military Prep Club, students got a glimpse into what boot camp is like by watching different aspects of Army basic training. Afterward, they took time to write heartfelt letters to Mrs. Kuyper’s son, Isaac, who is currently going through basic training. We’re proud of their curiosity, dedication, and support for one of our own! 🇺🇸✉️

Coach Raymond would like to thank Roland tires for sending Matt and Adam out to work with our 7th and 8th grade leadership classes. They learned how to change a tire, asked many questions about the business and found out some of the skills and requirements for a career in this field. Everyone buys tires! Thank you Roland tires for giving to our community!

🔥 Introducing The PJ Flame: Igniting Student Voices — Pickens Junior High’s new school newspaper! 🔥

Our very first article comes from 8th grader Brooklyn Roberts, who shines a light on Suicide Awareness Month. This powerful piece is a reminder of how important it is to listen, support, and raise awareness. We are so proud of Brooklyn and all of our students for using their voices to make a difference. Stay tuned for more articles coming soon! 🐉💚
