PRJHS Families – Important Reminder!
Semester exam exemption applications are due to the front office by Tuesday, December 9, 2025.
⏰ No late submissions will be accepted, even if the learner meets the exemption criteria — so be sure to get those forms turned in on time!
Let’s finish the semester strong!
We are incredibly proud of our students and teachers at Pike Road High School. Last night, we celebrated 288 qualifying Advanced Placement scores, an outstanding achievement that shows tremendous hard work and dedication.
Students earned $100 for every qualifying score, and our teachers were recognized for the time, effort, and expertise they pour into preparing students for AP success.
Thanks to a grant from A+ College Ready and a generous donation from Representative Reed Ingram, our students & teachers collectively earned $397,000 in AP incentives and potential college credits.
🎉 Congratulations to our students and teachers!

Come celebrate our talented young artists as they showcase their work from Semester 1. (Semester 2 artists will get their spotlight in May!)

Be sure to take a look as we continue to install their pieces through December 11.
Lastly, don’t miss our silent auction featuring artwork by a local artist, also displayed across from the office. All proceeds will support the PRJHS Visual Arts program
