🧠 Hands-on learning in AP Psychology!
Our students got creative this week by building model neurons with craft supplies. From dendrites to axon terminals, each part was represented to help them see how messages travel through the nervous system.
A fun, interactive way to bring psychology to life!

The third week of September is National Security Officer Appreciation Week. This week allows us to highlight the amazing work of our dozens of security officers at PCSSD. This includes monitoring the school, preventing unauthorized entries, responding to emergencies, investigating misconduct, and, most importantly, supporting students. We are so thankful for all their hard work. #PCSSDproud #ServeAll

Using updated rosters from FC Barcelona and Real Madrid (two of Spain’s biggest rivals), students asked and answered questions about jersey numbers — all in Spanish!
A great way to combine language learning with culture and a little friendly competition

🧩 Can you give instructions someone else can actually follow? That’s the challenge in Mr. Pruitt’s class!
Students are practicing precise language by designing Lego sets and writing instructions for their partners to rebuild. Such a fun (and valuable!) way to sharpen communication skills.
