This week in Patriot Nation...
January is Alabama School Board Member Appreciation Month. At the GW Campus, we proudly recognize and thank our dedicated PRS School Board members for their leadership, service, and commitment to our learners, staff, and community.
Your time, vision, and advocacy help shape strong schools and brighter futures every day. We are grateful for all you do!

PRJHS Visual Art learners were introduced to the inspiring art form Neurographic Art — a creative practice that engages both aesthetic and emotional intelligence. This unique art style is known to ignite positive changes in reality while promoting clarity, calm, and self-expression.
Neurographic Art has been shown to support individuals experiencing chronic pain, restlessness, and anxiety, helping to foster a sense of peace and emotional balance.
Mrs. McColl chose this powerful art form as an ideal way to engage our new young artists as they begin Visual Arts in Semester 2, setting a thoughtful and creative foundation for their artistic journey.
✨ Creativity meets wellbeing at PRJHS! ✨

💙❤️ MAKE A DIFFERENCE MONDAY ❤️💙
Our Pike Road Football Team showed what Patriot Pride is all about by rolling up their sleeves and helping clean up around campus for Make a Difference Monday! 🏈
This initiative is all about giving back, taking ownership, and working together to keep our campus clean, beautiful, and something we can all be proud of. Seeing our learners and teams lead by example truly makes a difference!

A big shoutout to the 28 learners who earned a perfect Semester 1 score across our six Visual Arts classes! 🎨💯

We’re beyond proud of their hard work and artistic growth!
