Check out the symbolism with one of the pieces in the World War II Memorial, it's from this past school year Play Production! We also checked out the Supreme Court and Library of Congress!
Huge thanks to the PC Education Foundation for contributing financially to each student's trip!

We are proud to accept a grant to support our backpack program that was made possible by Land O' Lakes and Farmers Cooperative: Dorchester. Thank you Mrs. Terra Blecha for your work and coordination on this grant.
A great night for football as Jesse McLaughlin, Jett Farwell, and Anthony Kling represented Pawnee City in the Nebraska vs. Wyoming 6-Man All-Star Game at Chadron State College. Nebraska came away with a big 68-28 win! A perfect way to cap off their outstanding high school careers. We’re so proud of everything these three have accomplished on and off the field.
Huge thanks to the awesome cheering section who made the long trip to support them—your energy made the night even more special!

#MentalHealthAwareness Month
Physical challenges and serious health struggles in friends and family can impact their mental health. Although we might not be able to change someone’s illness, we can change how they experience it. During #MHAM2025, take the time to share a meal, take a walk, or just listen—it can make a world of difference. 🌎💖samhsa.gov/find-support/helping-someone
