Yesterday High School students who qualified enjoyed the Spring CKH Incentive Day at the Movies, Kitchell Park, and Pana Bowl!! ☀️💙
We have selected our first-ever crop of PHS exchange students! These talented scholars will represent our school in Germany in 2025 as part of the German-American Partnership Program.
PJHS is lucky to have Mrs. Scherzer in our building serving as our Library Assistant. Students love to stop in to check out books and talk to her about their day. Thank you Mrs. Scherzer for all that you do here at PJHS!
Congratulations to the friendliest PHS seniors, as voted by their peers, Simon Rickett and Xhenta Ademi.
John Berns, Pana High School Senior, signed his departmental talent scholarship agreement to the Belmont University College of Music & Performing Arts (CMPA) on April 16th, 2024. Berns was accepted to study Music Education with plans to become a band director. He is beyond excited for this new chapter as a member of the Belmont Honors Program—a program recognizing academic excellence and great virtues—and the Vanderbilt Uni. Spirit of Gold Marching Band. John is pictured with his parents, Jim and Laurie Berns of Oconee, and Music Teachers, Angela Chase and Tony Hicks.
The Agribusiness class took the morning and toured Heinkel’s Packing plant in Decatur. The class learned that this is a family run business of more than 100 years! We appreciate their time and knowledge shared with us.
Please see the Pana Schools web site if you have a student age 3-4 or turning 5 after Sept. 1 and would like to enroll them in the PREP program for next school year.

Mrs. Sloan's class got creative with STEM last week, building octahedrons with Strawbees! Two curious students even went beyond and made another 3D shape. Can you guess what it is? #STEMfun #Strawbees (Search "polyhedron" to learn more about these cool shapes!)
Ms. Hahnenkamp and three 5th grade students, Brylee, Samantha, and Reva, wowed the Central IL STEM Fair in Rochester last Wednesday! They brought two Cricut machines (thanks PEF for the machines) and taught attendees of all ages how to create their own cutouts. #STEMFair #CircuitMachines #GreatJob
🎨What's Happening in the Art Room PHS Edition:🎨
Painting students a few weeks ago wrapped up their Pop Art Still Life paintings. I forgot about the Artist of the week...so representing PHS are Gwen and Paige!
Both ladies did an excellent job composition wise with their custom painting projects. All art students chose their own candy and still life setup. This also includes sketching large and finishing the project with blending acrylic paint colors. Thank you for completing amazing artwork in the art room! #Becreative🎨 #Paintingstudents🧑🏻🎨 #GoPanthers🐾
This amazing group of young singers just earned three Division 1 (Superior) Ratings at IHSA Organizational Contest! Great job and way to represent Pana High School. We are soooo proud of you!! Congrats also to Mrs. Chase and student teacher Mrs. Roberts!
The 6th grade team held a March Madness Checkers competition these past few weeks. Today was the championship game between Will Sarver and Channing Allen. They both strategized and played a great game, but in the end, Will came out on top and was this year Checker Champion!
Getting messy with spelling words in Mrs. Crawford's class!
