Today, Preston County Schools join communities across the nation in recognizing Constitution Day, commemorating the signing of the U.S. Constitution on September 17, 1787. In our public schools, this day provides an opportunity for students to learn about the document that established the framework of our government, shaped the rights and responsibilities of citizens, and continues to guide our democracy. Constitution Day is more than a look back at history—it is an opportunity to encourage civic understanding, thoughtful participation, and an appreciation for the principles that help shape our nation. Throughout Constitution Week, September 17–23, we are proud to help our students understand the importance of our Constitution and their role in our communities and our country. This year, all 8th graders will receive a pocket Constitution thanks to the 917 Society (https://www.917society.org/all-pocket-constitution-requests) and spearheaded by Tracy Friend.
Bus 10-23, Richard Mitchell, will be running approx. 15 minutes late on his 1st afternoon run. This will only affect Bruceton School Students and not PHS.
The Bulldogs XC team competed yesterday at St. Francis Central Catholic School. It was a hot evening on a very challenging and hilly course. Both teams finished in 6th place, with 2 individuals earning medals.

Bus Announcement for Friday, September 11th:
Students who normally ride bus 75-16, Shelly Wolfe's bus (Casey Feather has been long-term subbing for her), will ride bus 33-22, Scott McCabe's bus for the afternoon run today. Drop off times may be approximately 15 minutes later than normal for kids who do not live on Route 26 for those buses.
Many of us woke that morning and began an ordinary day by getting ready for work, heading to school, making plans, and going about our daily lives. Little did any of us know that before the day was over, our country and our understanding of the world would be changed forever.
Today, we remember the lives lost, the families forever changed, and the courage of the first responders and ordinary people who stepped forward in extraordinary ways.
May we never forget. May we always remember. And may we continue to rise from the ashes with strength, compassion, courage, and unity.
25 years later — We Remember.
