Pine Creek High School (PCHS) is a public high school in Academy School District 20 that serves the Pine Creek, Gleneagle, Black Forest, Northgate and Flying Horse Ranch neighborhoods of north Colorado Springs. The school opened in 1998 and currently serves approximately 1,600 students in grades 9 through 12. It is the designated technology school for the district.
Sports and clubs
Pine Creek offers a diverse collection of sports and clubs for student participation. The school allows its students to design their own clubs (with the approval of a few teachers and administrators) if they are not satisfied with current clubs.The school has seen many victories in various athletics over the few years it has existed, including state qualifying teams in football, hockey, track and field, cross country, soccer, basketball, Marching Band, volleyball, tennis, and swimming both men and women. Overall, Pine Creek has been awarded by the Halen Foundation its most prestigious award, The Colorado Superior High School Award for the 2007-2008 school year.Michael Arsenault recently won a $25,000 award for an outstanding demonstration as both a teacher and a student supporter.
Technology Club
Pine Creek has a small technology club, with six to ten regular members, and is sponsored by the math teacher Mr. Sooy. Tech club regularly makes movies for the school's Film Fest, and has won awards on both their last films. What has been failed to mention, though, is that Tech club did not win the film festival three years ago. Three years ago, the annual film festival was won by Andrew Staver, Bryan Gillespie, and Clint Gillespie.
Eyes Wide Open
Sponsored by social sciences teachers Heidi Rickard and Toby Partridge, this club was started by a group of students back in 2006. Their objective: to challenge their peers to live with their "eyes wide open" by introducing them to heavy topics taking place in the world today through a series of films and documentaries. Such films/topics that have been covered in the past include: Invisible Children, Glue Boys, Aids: The Pandemic, Native American discrimination, and more. In early 2009, Pine Creek extended the program over to Rampart High School (also in District 20) in an effort to get as many students globally aware as possible. The heartbeat of this unique club is really just to be aware of the world, and then take action to prevent further injustice.
