As we head into spring, keep an eye on the important dates listed at the top of the page. PRA College Day is on March 6. Students will meet with college representatives during PEAKS time and then all college reps will be available in the gym from 3:15-4pm. Parents and community members are welcome to attend during the college fair portion of the event.

As we move through the remainder of the school year, remind students to record their community service hours using the Community Service Form. Students are required to complete 100 hours of community service before graduation and it's much easier if they log them as they go!

Be sure to keep an eye on the list of important dates at the top of the page as a handy reference for upcoming events. The PRA High School Parent Community Facebook page is a great place to ask questions and connect with other parents. You may see some posts on the HS Parent Facebook page about After Prom, an event planned by the Junior year GLCs. While After Prom will be attended by mostly Juniors and Seniors, the success of the event depends on the whole HS Parent Community. Please consider contributing via a donated good or by volunteering at the event. It's a great opportunity to learn more about the event and it will be our kids' turn before you know it! You can always email us at PRAClassof2028GLC@gmail.com with any questions.
