Mission Statement:

The purpose of our school is to prepare our students  for productive, fulfilling lives in a democratic society.  We believe that they will need the skills of literacy, numeracy, tolerance and adaptability to take their place in the future as citizens.  Furthermore, they will need strength of character as they face difficult personal and ethical challenges; a respect for themselves and others; curiosity and confidence; imagination; good habits of body and mind.  Our fondest hope is that their opportunities at PCS prepare them well in all of the academic, social, emotional, physical and artistic areas while allowing for a sensibly paced transition from childhood to adulthood.
