🎉 Two Teachers. Two Big Ideas. $2,000 in Grants!

We’re celebrating two Pike Road Schools teachers who are turning great ideas into hands-on learning opportunities for our students!

👏 Amy McDevitt, Pike Road Elementary kindergarten teacher and a Patriot since the district opened in 2015, received a $1,000 Guardian Credit Union Teach for Tomorrow Grant for her Brain Builders project. The after-school program will use strategic board games to help students build problem-solving, collaboration, communication, and other important skills—all while having a little fun!

👏 Misty Trussell, our gifted program teacher serving students at both the elementary and intermediate schools, also received a $1,000 grant for Design-It-3D: Hands-on Innovation. Her students will use 3D printing to design, create, test, and refine their own prototypes while exploring real-world applications in fields like healthcare, robotics, and aerospace.

Two very different projects. One shared goal: giving our students more opportunities to create, explore, and discover what they can do.

Congratulations, Amy and Misty! We’re so proud of you, and very grateful to Guardian Credit Union for investing in our teachers and their big ideas! ❤️💙

Congratulations post to Amy McDevitt and Misty Trussell for each receiving a $1,000 grant from Guardian Credit Union.
We are excited to announce the next chapter of growth for Pike Road Intermediate School! Through our continued partnership with the Town of Pike Road, we are happy to share a few of our preliminary renderings.
This announcement builds directly on the momentum of our recently completed project! Just last week, PRIS students stepped into their new cafeteria eating space for the first time. Constructed in the former gymnasium building, this newly converted space also includes six new classrooms and four renovated classrooms for our 5th-grade students. These upgrades mark an exciting step in our ongoing campus transformation.
To allow construction to start as soon as possible, we are planning to transition our 6th-grade students to the Georgia Washington (GW) campus in January, creating a dedicated true middle school experience for our students!
Stay tuned for more details in the coming months. Great things are happening in Pike Road!
*Conceptual renderings shown; final design details are subject to change during construction.

Pike Road Schools “Attendance Matters” infographic explaining why attending the first day of school is important. The graphic notes that first-day attendance confirms a student’s seat, begins learning and classroom routines, helps students build relationships with teachers and classmates, provides important schedules and school information, and supports a strong start to the year. It also encourages families to plan ahead by scheduling appointments outside school hours, preparing supplies and transportation, establishing bedtime and morning routines, and arriving on time and ready to learn.
