On April 4th, the JAG class went and visited the University of Southern Indiana to learn more about what USI has to offer. Students went on a tour of campus, including the residence hall, dining center, Rec center, and Liberty Arena. They even got to tour the Applied Engineering Center and try their hand at using the virtual welding simulator. Students enjoyed learning more about what USI has to offer and realized it is a bigger campus than they expected. All in all, it was a great experience.

Late post alert! 62 students and staff members from PCHS performed Fiddler On the Roof in mid-March. Thanks to all who helped with having to reschedule Saturday's show because of the lack of power due to storms. Everyone did a wonderful job in a chaotic winter musical season! Mrs. Traylor and Mrs. Loveless are so proud of the amazing talent of our Pike Central students!
Ms. Geiling's Human Service class had learned about the world's recycling and waste concerns during the first semester, which led to the desire to implement a worm farming, or vermiculture, program that goes along with our Farm-to-School program with our 12 raised beds. Vermiculture is the process of raising worms to break down organic waste into nutrient-rich compost called worm castings. This eco-friendly practice helps reduce food waste while producing a natural fertilizer for gardens.
The Culinary classes use fruits and vegetables on a regular basis and will team up with the school's kitchen to collect produce scraps for composting, along with recycling the school's paper instead of sending it to the landfill. The class has set up worm bins containing 5 lbs each of red wigglers. Scrap, paper, and cardboard will be pre-composted and then fed to the worms regularly. We are excited about what the future brings for us!
