Reminder: PECPS will be closed on 1/19/26 in observance of the MLK Jr. holiday.
We appreciate the daily leadership our principals provide. This week has been a celebration of them and the invaluable asset they are to PECPS. They were surprised with a few of their “favorite” things during a staff meeting and recognized at the January school board meeting with personalized cookies made by our culinary arts students.

The elementary school recently invited families to visit the newly completed portion of the building. Families enjoyed the open layout of the space, and teachers continue to share how much they appreciate the added storage, always a welcome bonus! 😊
The Prince Edward County Spelling Bee was held on January 13, 2026, and it was quite a competition! Our first-place winner is Ezekiel Retuya with the winning word "invincible". He will represent Prince Edward for the second time at the Richmond Regional Bee on March 4th. The second-place winner is Noah Johnson, and the third-place winner is Emmett Townsend. Congratulations to all of our participants, and good luck to Ezekiel at the Regional Bee!
