Behind every working AC unit and safely bolted desk is a team that works tirelessly throughout the day. Today, we’re saying a huge THANK YOU to Adam, James, Jerry, Kyle, and Todd for everything they do to keep our schools running smoothly. We couldn't do it without you! 🛠️✨

In celebration of the 35th Annual Youth Art Month, the Pike Road Arts Council invites the community to experience the Inaugural Student Art Intensive Exhibit on Sunday, March 8, 2026, from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. at the Arts Council (944 Wallahatchie Road). Join us to support and celebrate these student artists as they showcase their creativity brought to life.
This exhibit will showcase the work of Pike Road Junior High School’s National Art Honor Society students following their participation in the Pike Road Arts Council’s pilot Art Intensive program.
Through a series of immersive, three-hour sessions led by Arts Council members, students explored foundational and advanced visual art techniques, including color theory, light and shadow, composition, perspective, and alla prima painting. Each session built upon the last, guiding students through a creative journey that culminates in this final exhibit.

Congratulations to Sophomore Dylan “Pickle” Yarema, who earned 3rd Place in the 132-pound weight class, and Junior Jack Posey, who secured 3rd Place in the 150-pound weight class at the AHSAA 6A State Championship! Their performance throughout the tournament demonstrated focus and the hard work they had put in all season.
Earning a medal at the state championship level is no small accomplishment. Dylan and Jack represented our school with class and determination, and we are so proud of the way they competed!
