✨ Culture isn’t just a buzzword; it’s a feeling. 🏫 At PSI, our culture is stronger because of counselor, Leah Slucher. While her work with students is transformative, her impact on our staff morale is equally vital. 🙌☕️
We are officially a CTE Celebration Status chapter!
With 200+ FBLA chapters in Kentucky, being 1 of 37 to receive this recognition is a massive win for our school and students. Congratulations to our FBLA members for proving that our chapter is one of the best in the state! 🏔️📈

From laughter and connection to practical tools to take home, this event was all about caring for ourselves and each other.
Because when families feel supported, our whole community grows stronger.
