It is with a heavy heart that we are reaching out to inform our school community about the tragic loss of one of our students.  PCHS Junior Charlotte Bumbalough passed away on Saturday, September 13th as a result of a car accident. Our heartfelt condolences are with her family and friends affected by this tragedy. It is in times such as these that the importance of coming together to support one another is so very important. 
Loss is never easy to comprehend or navigate, especially for young minds. We are committed to providing a safe and caring environment for our students to grieve and heal together. We have school counselors who are available to speak with and support our students.
Please join our Dragon community in keeping Charlie’s family and friends in your thoughts during this difficult time.
