🎉 Career Fair 2025 Recap! 🎉

This Wednesday, we hosted our first-ever Career Fair, and what an amazing success it was! Students had the chance to explore so many exciting career paths, from cosmetology and DJing to photography 📸 (special thanks to our photographer guest for capturing these awesome moments!).

We had so much fun putting this event together and are already looking forward to making it bigger and better next year!

A huge THANK YOU to all the professionals who came out to represent their fields and share their experiences with our students. 🌟

👻 Happy Halloween to our entire PSA family! Have a safe, fun, and blessed weekend! 🎃🧡

🎉 Welcome Back, Students & Families! 🎉

We’ve officially wrapped up our first week of the school year, and what a strong start it’s been! It’s been incredible to see the energy, excitement, and positivity flowing through our halls again.

From reconnecting with returning students to meeting our new faces, this week has set the tone for an amazing year ahead. 📚✨

We’re so proud of how everyone has come together to kick things off, and we’re looking forward to all the growth, learning, and success the rest of the year will bring.

Here’s to a great 2025-2026 school year! 💪🍎

That's a Wrap on a Great Year! ✏️🏫

We closed out the school year with fun and friendly competition. Students and staff went head-to-head in Minute to Win It games, and the energy was amazing!

A big congratulations to all of our students who have transitioned back to their boundary school, your hard work has paid off, and we’re SO proud of you! 🎉

We also have an exciting announcement: Please join us in congratulating Ms. Mays on being selected as the new leadership for PSA. Welcome, Principal Mays! 🎊We’re thrilled to see the impact you’ll make and can’t wait for all that’s ahead next year for both you and our community.

Have a safe, joyful, and well-deserved summer break! ☀️ See you next year!

We teed off 🍎Teacher Appreciation Week 🍎 with a fun-filled staff outing, a perfect way to celebrate our incredible team! It was also a heartfelt farewell to Dr. Henderson, honoring his many accolades and impactful time with us. Wishing him all the best as he embarks on his next chapter, he’s truly a hole-in-one! ⛳️

This week, we celebrate the incredible work of our school social workers who go above and beyond to support our students, families, and school community.
A special shout out to our very own Mrs. Tarver and Mrs. Phelps 💙

Social workers play a vital role in ensuring that every student has the support they need to thrive, from mental health resources to academic assistance and everything in between. We are grateful for their dedication, care, and commitment to making a positive impact on our students' lives.

Let’s show our appreciation for our school social workers and the difference they make every day! 🌟

Throughout February, we honored the incredible contributions and achievements of Black individuals throughout history. At PSA, we believe in the power of diversity, and we are proud to celebrate the rich legacy of Black culture, leadership, and excellence.

This past month, we shared stories, lessons, and highlights of Black pioneers who have shaped our world. Let's continue to learn, reflect, and grow together as we pay tribute to the generations of Black leaders who have paved the way for a brighter future.

We’d like to share a glimpse of the educational presentations afforded to us by Overdose Lifeline, Inc. They’ve provided us with insightful information and resources with their services and volunteer opportunities via kit packaging. A huge thank you to Mr. McNeely 🏥

Happy Monday! As we begin week 2 of our spring semester, we’d like to shed light on how we prioritize SEL. Our scholars get the chance to participate in Yoga every Thursday with Ms. Paula! How are you taking care of your mind and body this semester? 🪷

As we approach winter break, we’d like to shed light on our scholars who have successfully transitioned from our program! We love to capture this moment as students indulge in the tradition of signing “the wall”. Congratulations scholars, we are so proud of you! We know you’ll continue to do great things 📚❄️

Happy Monday! Last week we handpicked a few scholars to assist our principal, Dr. Henderson, & one of our social workers, Mrs. Phelps, in tending to our garden! We can’t wait to see the progress as we blossom together 🪴

PSA joins the fight against breast cancer by going pink.

Fast Facts: Every 2 minutes, someone in the U.S. is diagnosed with breast cancer. It’s a matter of
when, not if, someone in your workplace will receive a breast cancer diagnosis.

Did you know, in Marion County African American women are less likely to be diagnosed with breast cancer but are up to about 40 % more likely to die from the disease?

Breast cancer disparities among Black and Brown women still exist in 2024, while overall survival rates are improving!

Poverty blocks Black and Brown women from care, sometimes on daily basic things like transportation for treatment. This can be vital for women who need radiation therapy. This treatment must be given daily.

Frequently, students or staff in the homes of loved ones battling cancer support them in silence while trying to keep up with their education and job responsibilities.
