🧠 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
