PCA is organizing a field trip for 10th and 11th graders on Monday, April 7, 2025. Students will visit the Charlotte Motor Speedway to participate in a Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM) program. Then, they will tour the Albemarle Lithium facility in Kings Mountain to learn about careers in chemistry, engineering, project management and other STEM fields. The total cost of the field trip will be $90 or less. (The final cost of the field trip will depend on the number of students who participate.) Spaces are still available for the moment. To register, students can turn in their registration and waiver forms and pay a (non-refundable) deposit of $30 dollars by Friday, January 24, 2025. (This is the final deadline for deposits and registration forms.) Mr. Kauder is collecting the registration forms and deposits in room 114 during homeroom and at lunchtime. The balance of the cost of the trip will be collected in February 2025. We hope your high school student can participate in this exciting educational experience.
