Pike County Central High School (PCCHS) is a public high school located in Pikeville, Kentucky. The school mascot is a hawk. PCCHS serves over seven hundred students and is just minutes from the Greater Pikeville metropolitan area.
[edit] History
Pike County Central High School is the result of a consolidation, which brought together the former Johns Creek High School and Mullins High School.
Current principal Eddie McCoy is the second in school history. In the 2004-05 academic school year, McCoy took over for Roger Johnson (now the district assistant superintendent), who vacated the job to take a position within the Pike County Board of Education. Johnson was the PCCHS Principal since the inaugural school year of 1993.
[edit] Student activities
The school newspaper is known as The Wingspan, while the yearbook is referred to as The Talon.
Pike County Central Lady Hawks were the winners of the 15th Region Girls' Basketball Tournament in the 1998, 2004, and just recently the 2007 seasons. The Lady Hawks also made it to round 3 of the state Sweet Sixteen tournament of 2007, held in Bowling Green, Ky.
The Student Technology Leadership Program has qualified for state competition 2006 and 2007. In 2006 the students received runner up (in which the winner went to nationals in California). 2007 looks to be a great year for the STLP.
