Congratulations to our Pike High School Marching Red Devils for finishing out their spectacular season by competing at the ISSMA Scholastic State Finals on October 17th.

Pike Librarians have launched a district-wide Readers of the Month series to celebrate students who demonstrate a passion for reading, engage with literature, and inspire a love of learning in their school communities!

Each school has its own unique way of selecting students for this special recognition, but we all share one goal: fostering a culture of literacy and lifelong learning.

We’re proud to be a district that values its libraries, celebrates its readers, and recognizes the power of a good book. After all, today’s readers are tomorrow’s leaders!

Join us each month as we shine a spotlight on the students helping make our schools communities of readers!

While all students currently receive free meals, completing the Household Income Form is still essential.

This form does so much more than help ensure continued meal benefits—it directly affects our ability to secure funding for programs that benefit all students across the district, from discounted internet access in our schools to funding that directly supports learning.

It can also help your family qualify for valuable benefits like college exam fee waivers and scholarships.

Help us support all of our students; please complete your Household Income Form today:

We recognize the strain of rising costs and the impact these factors may have.
