On October 4th & October 11th, our PRHS & PRJH choir students auditioned for the Region Six Honor Choir. This audition included all schools in our area of the state, regardless of size or classification. Over 1,000 students auditioned from more than 10 different school districts.
Fourteen of our talented singers qualified! Six of these students scored high enough to compete at the state level in February! The Region Six Honor Choir will perform at the Arend Arts Center on November 1st. The concert is open to the community.
Way to go, Blackhawks!

As we navigate the possibility of severe weather, we want to remind you of our district’s safety procedures. The well-being of our students and staff is always our top priority.
If our area is placed under a tornado warning during the school day, all students and staff will immediately move to designated safe interior areas within their buildings. They will remain there until the threat has passed.
During a shelter-in-place:
- Students will remain indoors until an official all-clear is issued.
- Staff will also remain sheltered in interior safe zones.
- Families will be notified as soon as the all-clear is given.
- If dismissal coincides with a warning, buses will be delayed until it is safe to resume operations.
- Students will not be permitted to leave with parents from the pick-up line or drive themselves home until the all-clear is issued.
We will provide updates through text messages, app notifications, and district social media accounts as these situations develop and are resolved.
Thank you for your understanding and support as we work to keep our school community safe.
