During the last week of school, Coach Stout and Coach Duncan organized PJ’s very first PJ Olympics, where each homeroom competed in a variety of events throughout the day. After a day full of teamwork, competition, and school spirit, Team France was crowned the inaugural 2026 PJ Olympics champion!

Ms. Perritt's Business/Computer Science students finished out the school year by creating business plans, then using the plans to create "Shark Tank" simulations with their classmates being the panelists. Great questions were asked and answered leading to multiple offers, much like the real "Shark Tank"!

On Tuesday night, the PJHS Chorus gave an outstanding final concert for the 25-26 school year. The program included crowd pleasers like "The Never Ending Story", "Sign of the Times", and "A Thousand Miles." Our young performers shone brightly as they demonstrated the musicianship and professionalism they learned over the course of this year.
Even Mrs. Tolar performed, with her former classmate, Mr. Clark, the duet “Only Us” as a parting gift to her 8th graders.
Well done to all involved. We look forward to the great music you will make next year!
