Dear Pickerington Tiger Community - Letter #3

Dear Pickerington Tiger Community:
Greetings subscribers.  Finally school has started and the halls of PHS Central came alive with the sounds of eager students ready to begin a new year full of possibilities.  Our enrollment is up from the end of last year and I sincerely thank all for their patience as the PHSC Guidance Counselors are working diligently to meet the hundreds of schedule needs.
All of our sports teams have now begun their fall seasons and are full steam ahead in their quests for OCC titles.  The Pickerington community displayed incredible spirit for the Football, Cheerleading and Marching Tigers during our season opener in the Kirk Herbsreit Varsity Football Classic against Orange (CA) Lutheran in front of a nationally televised ESPNU audience.  Despite the enormous size of historic Ohio Stadium, Pickerington Purple filled in the Scarlet and Gray backdrop behind our team and loudly cheered the Tigers on to an improbable upset of our nationally ranked opponents.  Improbable upset refers only to those who don’t know Tiger football.  Also fitting for a venue known for its famous marching band and Script Ohio was the rousing “Script TIGERS” performed expertly by the PHSC Marching Tigers.
Next week, I will be meeting with each grade level in our Performing Arts Center, in what we call the “State of the Tiger Address,” to welcome students back and reiterate to them our expectations for all students attending PHSC.  We believe that PHSC can, should and WILL reach excellence in each area that I call the All “A’s” of High School:  Academics, Athletics, Arts, Activities and Atomosphere. 
We will also have a special assembly next Thursday that I will share in greater detail in my next letter.
Please remember that ACT and SAT deadlines for the October administration are quickly approaching, all schedule change requests must be submitted to the counselors by the end of next week, and I hope to see all of you at our Open House next Wednesday, September 9th at 7 PM.  Have a wonderful Labor Day Weekend and the school day will return to our normal schedule on Tuesday.
Go Tigers!
M. Scott Reeves
Principal, Pickerington High School Central
