Chemistry students were up and moving as they tackled a Dimensional Analysis Question Trail. Students worked through a series of conversion problems, using each answer to lead them to the next question. It was a great way to practice dimensional analysis while adding a little movement, problem-solving, and friendly competition to chemistry!

Physics students took part in the Spaghetti Tower Challenge, working in teams to design and build the tallest freestanding tower using limited materials. The activity challenged students to apply problem-solving, creativity, and teamwork.

Educators from the Dan River Basin Association visited Junior Research students to explore Virginia’s watersheds. Students investigated how litter and pollutants travel through waterways, and they used a dichotomous key to identify aquatic macroinvertebrates that may be affected by pollution in our local streams.

This hands-on experience will help prepare students for their next research project: The Litter Logperch! We are thankful for DRBA’s collaboration in this experiential learning and stewardship opportunity.

Senior statistics students completed an anchor activity to collaborate and review concepts about hypothesis testing for means and proportions. Students engaged in a kinesthetic review activity focused on selecting appropriate hypothesis tests to decide which would be appropriate for the scenario described. Students would walk to designated courtyard zones corresponding to hypothesis-testing methodologies. When disagreements arose, designated group representatives defended their choice. After the four corners activity, students worked in small collaborative groups to synthesize their understanding by drafting scenarios for peer evaluation.

PGSMST students had the opportunity to meet and hear from Mr. Matthew Evans of Gravitt Law Group during their Research classes on Monday and Tuesday. Mr. Evans is a practicing local attorney who serves clients throughout Halifax and Pittsylvania counties and the surrounding area. Student heard his perspective on the legal profession as a potential field of study, as well as his advice on preparing for college and the benefits of challenging themselves through academic rigor. We are very thankful to Mr. Evans for generously donating his time and sharing his experiences and advice with our students!

We are proud to announce that PGSMST has been recognized as a Virginia Naturally School for the 2025–2026 school year! This recognition was earned through our students’ environmental stewardship efforts and their work with Patrick & Henry Community College to help the college become a Certified Affiliate of Bee Campus USA. We commend our students for their hard work and look forward to creating more opportunities for them to connect with and protect Virginia’s natural resources.

Anatomy students took learning beyond the textbook! Students practiced using anatomical directional terms by working with a partner to identify and label different locations on the body using sticky notes. A fun, interactive way to build their understanding of anatomical terminology while putting their knowledge into practice!

08/18/2026

Biology students put their experimental design skills to the test! They designed their own experiments to determine which brand or color of ink pen most closely mimicked the trail pheromones termites use to communicate and follow one another. A fun, hands-on investigation that combined biology, observation, and scientific inquiry!

What a great way to wrap up our first week of school at PGSMST! Students participated in our first Flex Friday activity, “Community Connections”. Students participated in a fun meet-and-greet designed to help students get to know one another, build new relationships, and strengthen our PGSMST community of learners! We believe that meaningful connections are an important part of creating a school environment where every student feels welcomed, supported, and connected. It was wonderful to see our students laughing, talking, and learning more about their classmates!
A great first week—and an even better start to an exciting school year!

A wonderful start for our new students at PGSMST! Enrichment Day provided our students with an opportunity to connect, explore, and experience engaging, math and science activities that sparked curiosity, creativity, and excitement for learning. Here’s to a fantastic year ahead!
