Dear Pike Valley Parents,
Pike Valley Junior-Senior Prom is scheduled for next Saturday, April 12, 2025. It is a tradition for High School parents to host After Prom activities for ALL ELIGIBLE Pike Valley High School students, 9th to 12th grade.
The purpose of After Prom is to provide a safe, alcohol and drug free environment for our children to have lots of fun and get some awesome prizes.
After Prom will be held at Pike Valley Elementary School in Courtland from 10:45 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. Doors will open at 10:45 p.m. and remain open until 11:30 p.m. Doors to After Prom will close at 11:30 p.m. with no admittance after. We encourage students to arrive early as they will not be admitted if they are late. If any student chooses to leave, re-admittance will not be allowed, and you will be contacted by phone. If your child(ren) would like to attend, please RSVP by sending $20.00 to the Pike Valley Jr./Sr. High School by Wednesday, April 9th. This non-refundable payment may be left with Stacey in the Jr./Sr. High Office and
will be used to help purchase a few prizes as well as food for the evening.
We have an active Facebook Messenger group, if you are not currently a member and would like to stay up to date on all the current questions and conversations, please feel free to search “2025 Pike Valley After Prom” and request an add.

Pike Valley Football Meetings
Hello Everyone:
We are going to host a couple of meetings to get input from patrons/parents in
regards to the future of our high school football program. With low numbers on a
continual basis, it is becoming difficult to field a competitive team throughout an
entire season. Some small schools across the state have elected to move to a 6
man program.
In looking at our projected numbers, we are trying to make an informed decision
for the next two year scheduling cycle and beyond. The next cycle will go into
effect for the 26 and 27 seasons. We are thinking that it might be wise to
consider moving to 6 man for two to three cycles. Our meetings are set to gather
your thoughts and input to help our board make an informed, wise decision for
our athletes.
The meetings will be held as follows:
Scandia at the Board Office March 13th at 6 p.m.
Courtland at the Elementary Cafeteria on March 25th at 6 p.m.
Thank you
