Employee of the Month: Abby Tollas

PACT Charter School is pleased to recognize Ms. Abby Tollas, First Grade Teacher, as the January 2026 Employee of the Month.

Ms. Tollas consistently steps forward as a leader within her team and serves as a trusted mentor to multiple new teachers at PACT. She thoughtfully and professionally balances her colleagues' needs while keeping student success at the center of everything she does. Her dedication to supporting her team and ensuring that every first-grade student has the opportunity to thrive cannot be overstated.
 

Rental Agreement with Substance Church

The Board approved the rental of both PACT campuses to Substance Church, opening a new opportunity for our community. Elementary will be used on Wednesday evenings, and Secondary on Sundays.

This partnership will generate approximately $100,000 in annual revenue, benefiting our school and students.
