About

Dear Pinkerton Academy Community,

Welcome to the new school year! I hope you had a restful and enjoyable summer. It’s been a great several days, first with the whole faculty and staff and most recently having the student community back on campus.

At Pinkerton Academy, we are committed to fostering a supportive and inclusive environment where every student can thrive. Whether you are a returning student or new to our community, we are here to support you every step of the way.  On Tuesday, the whole faculty and staff sat with Brooklyn Raney, author of One Trusted Adult.  Her message is loud and clear, and we here at Pinkerton will continue to strive to be a trusted adult for our student community. 

Communication between school and home is extremely important to our students' success. I encourage you to stay connected by regularly checking our school website, attending school events, and reaching out to teachers and counselors with any questions or concerns. Together, we can create a partnership that ensures our students achieve their fullest potential.

September is already full of exciting events from sporting events, Mack Plaque Week, a school dance, fall and winter school play auditions and so much more.  We also offer over 60 clubs and organizations for students to join.  I am proud to say there is probably something for everyone here on campus.  

I am looking forward to a great year filled with learning, growth, and memorable experiences. Thank you for being a part of our school community, and let's make this school year one of the best!
