7th Grade Keyboarding
Keyboarding...Students are working on mastering the keyboard with speed and accuracy. We begin with our home-row keys and progress from there. Quarterly Projects include: Cards for Hospitalized Kids, Project Mouse-y Mouse, 2024 One Word, 3,000 Word Challenge, and our "Where I'm From" Poems. We also utilize some Social-Emotional Learning activities such as Check-Ins and Stress Management techniques.
PHS Welcome Committee
Piketon Junior/Senior High School's “Welcome Committee” is on its 6th year of providing support to new students attending PHS during the 2023-2024 school year. Being “the new kid” in a new school can be a somewhat stressful and uneasy time for a student at first; through the work of this committee, each new student to PHS will, hopefully, feel more comfortable and glad to be a Redstreak!
All Cheerleaders' Night #25
Piketon held its 25th annual All Cheerleaders' Night on Friday, September 16, 2022 as the Redstreaks hosted the Unioto Shermans. Since it was an alumni year, approximately 150 current and former cheerleaders and coaches took to the sidelines at the beginning of the game to get all those Redstreak fans to stand up and clap their hands!
