PSA to everyone. There are phishing emails coming from government agencies. Many of these are about unpaid tolls and they warn that failure to pay may result in penalties or licenses suspended. We initially received them from the Indiana Department of Education(or so they say), but I have heard reports of others throughout the State receiving them from other state agencies. The email says it comes from one of the agencies, but the email address is not legit. If you receive any emails that seem suspicious, call the person(or department) directly. DO NOT click on the link or reply to the email. This has nothing to do with Pike County School Corporation, but we just want everyone to be safe. Please share with others so they do not get phished. Below is a screenshot of one of these emails.
Today is National School Nurse Day! Let's give a big shout-out to our school nurses for their hard work and dedication. You're appreciated!
Sadly, we must announce the passing of a beloved member of our Pike Central High School staff, Mr. Larry Altstadt. Throughout his career, Mr. Altstadt has helped countless young people within his various roles as an educator and coach. The positive impact he’s made to our Vocational Education program has been evidence of his ability to connect to his students and help them to reach their potential. Mr. Altstadt will be deeply missed and our sincerest condolences are extended to his wife and family.
