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.
