Moments, Milestones, and More
Our weekly e-newsletter, the PACT Pilot, shares important updates, upcoming events, and highlights from across the district. Monthly e-newsletters from our principals provide school-specific news, academic insights, and campus celebrations. We also share information about community education opportunities and activities that support lifelong learning.
Our publications celebrate the people of PACT — students, staff, families, and alumni — whose stories reflect the heart of our school community.
