"A Night Under The Stars" Prom
A special thank you to the Upper School's Student Life Coordinator Lois Blatchley, parent volunteers, faculty chaperones, and student volunteers for helping make last weekend's Junior-Senior Prom such a wonderful event! The prom took place at the Portsmouth Country Club where our students enjoyed a steak dinner, dancing under a "star-lit" ceiling, taking silly pictures in the Photo Booth, and topping the evening off with the much-loved Candy Station. Pictures from the prom are available
HERE TO DOWNLOAD from now until June 7. You will be notified when the formal portraits are available from Viking Photos.
Congratulations to
Sam Ponchak (Senior/King),
Sarah Kaczynski (Senior/Queen),
Evenson Saintil (Junior/Prince), and
Angel Lin (Junior/Princess) for being chosen to represent this year's Prom Court!

PCA Faculty Member Receives Patent
Congratulations to PCA faculty member and IT Director, Mike Shevenell, for receiving his fifth patent from the US Patent and Trademark Office earlier this month!
Mike, a graduate of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, currently teaches Robotics & Software Engineering at our Upper School and is also a Varsity Track Coach.
His latest patent is entitled "Identification of Networking Components via Application Programming Interface Signatures." This is essentially a process whereby unknown network-based software entities are identified by repeated probes to determine their identity which is especially useful in areas of rapidly evolving technology where management standards have not been developed or formalized yet. In the past nine years, Mike has received four other patents and has three additional patents pending.

PCA Freshman Breaks 12 Year School Record!
Congratulations to Liza Corso who broke the 12 year old school record in the 800m run this past Saturday at Prospect Mountain High School!
The special part is that the record was previously held by longtime Assistant Track Coach, Ali Salter. Maybe even more amazing is the fact that Liza ran such a great time in the "hurricane" conditions this past Saturday.
Coach Mike Shevenell noted that he fully expected Liza to eventually break the record-- just not in hurricane-like conditions! Go, Eagles!
