larger number of students.) The school campus includes

stand, rubberized track, baseball field, softball field, tennis
courts, basketball courts, soccer field, and lacrosse field).
PCHS features a high school automotive program, agriculture

There is a backup plan for school access in place in case of any delays
in road construction.
