Good morning Piqua High School! Today is Monday September 16th- there’s a menu change today, we’ll have Mac N Cheese today and Nachos on Wednesday!

Attention staff and students- if you haven’t picked up on it yet, we are in a weekly contest with all of the other district buildings for the most spirited building each Friday. To help with that effort we are hoping that every student in the district will have their own Piqua shirt by next Friday for the big rivalry game- Troy week! That said, if you have any Piqua shirts you no longer wear or are too small but in good condition, please bring them to the main office! We will have a Piqua shirt boutique next Wednesday for anyone who needs a shirt for Piqua Shirt Friday. If you have younger siblings that have outgrown their Piqua gear- you can bring that in too, we’ll send it to the elementary buildings! 

Start With Hello Week is this week. Each day this week in advisory you will have an activity. Today is Meet and Greet Monday!!
