PHS Students Win Smart Manufacturing Competition
On November 5, Mr. Javon Williams, who teaches Smart Manufacturing at Pike High School, took students to Purdue University to compete in the Smart Manufacturing Minecraft Education Hack-a-Thon, where one of his teams won the competition!
This innovative event challenged students to apply their knowledge of Industry 4.0 technologies, including robotics, automation, artificial intelligence, and smart manufacturing, to solve real-world problems through Minecraft Education. What an incredible opportunity for our students to showcase their creativity, collaboration, and technical skills on a university campus!

Congratulations to our Pike High School Co-Ed Competition Team, which placed 3rd in the Co-Ed Division of the Indiana Cheer Championship! Our team performed a traditional routine that included a crowd-leading cheer, dancing, stunting, and tumbling. They also placed in the top 10 in the state for the Time Out division competition, which featured a crowd-leading cheer they would do during a time-out.
Coach White shared, "It has been over a decade since we have competed, and it has been rewarding seeing all the hard work that they have put in."

In Ms. Austin’s classroom at New Augusta Public Academy South, Veterans Day lessons came to life in an unforgettable way this year. Students spent the week learning about the branches of the U.S. Military and writing thoughtful thank-you notes in preparation for a special guest.
The class was excited that an active-duty service member was going to visit their classroom to share his experiences. What they did not know was that the visiting service member was a former New Augusta South student and Pike High School graduate who had just returned home on leave. He was also the uncle of one of their classmates, who had no idea he was home!
The surprise reunion and the enthusiasm with which our New Augusta students and staff welcomed our honored alumnus was a special full-circle moment.
We are grateful to Ryland Bass for returning home to inspire the next generation, and thankful to all of the brave men and women who serve, today and always.
