Weekly Update 5/16/25

May 16th, 2025 by Mike Perez


Good afternoon, Pinkerton Community,

As I head into the final month of my second year in this role, I have to say I love the traditions and energy that come with spring at Pinkerton. The campus is busy almost every night with recognition ceremonies, spring sports games, and end-of-the-year performances. With prom this weekend and senior spirit week starting Monday, our final traditions of the year are taking place. This can be a bittersweet time, and I encourage everyone to take time to reflect and enjoy these special moments.

We have just over 4 weeks until the end of the year! Let’s focus and end the year strong!
