PHS freshman, Chelsea Oginda led her relay team to a fourth place finish in the medley relay at the New York State indoor track meet last month. Oginda began the relay running the 1000 meter leg and handed the baton off to her teammate in first place. The first 6 place finishers received medals.
MSG Varsity Named Girls' Basketball Coach, Rodney Headley Jr., Coach of the Year! "The Cinderella-run was about as good as it gets and centered around balanced scoring, depth and pressure defense, leading the Red Devils taking home their second Class A title in three years," read the MSG Varsity article. "With no seniors on the roster, the future looks bright for Headley and his young Peekskill team."
Peekskill Board of Education member, Tuesday McDonald traveled to Capital Hill in Washington, D.C. last month to accept the Best Intergenerational Community Award.
PHS Social Studies teacher, Sharon Cummings was named the Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Delta Nu Sigma Chapter's 2013 Blazing Torch Award honoree for her excellence in teaching. "Ms. Cummings has been the link to many of our students achieving their goals, and soaring beyond their own expectations," said PHS Principal, Fred Hutchinson. "She is one of my very best."

PHS Offers Blended Online Courses Through Consortium
PCSD and a group of Putnam Northern Westchester school districts are working together through BOCES to offer blended online courses which aim to prepare students for college while also teaching the skills that will help students to stay competitive in a world of 21st century technology. Of the six OC21 elective classes offered this year, one is taught by Peekskill social studies teacher, Anita Prentice. Prentice teaches Introduction to Anthropology, a semester-long course offered both in the fall and spring. Next semester ten online classes will be available for students to choose from and will include opportunities for them to earn elective credits in social studies, science, English, art and technology. To read more about Prentice's class and the OC21 program, click here.
