On Tuesday, May 6, our 11th grade students travelled to Toyota Manufacturing in Princeton as part of their unit on preparing for the future. During the visit, students learned about career and job opportunities within the manufacturing industry. The experience provided valuable insight into real-world workplace environments and helped students connect their classroom learning to potential career paths.

It's that time of year that we "Kiss a Senior Goodbye" and let them know how much they will be missed after graduation. The PC Key Club facilitates this project and it is usually a favorite for seniors. We work hard every year to make sure every senior gets "kisses" goodbye. If you would like to order Hershey kisses for a senior, please contact Kelly Cash kcash@pccommodores.org or 812-843-5121 or any Key Club member. Hershey kiss bags are $3.00 each and will be delivered to seniors the last week of school.
The Commodore Construction Habitat for Humanity House is coming together!

We’re excited to continue watching the progress and are incredibly grateful to Habitat for Humanity for their partnership in making this project a reality. #good2bgreen
