PCHS Lady Soccer

Hello everyone. Remember, every day is a new day.

Remember: Happiness is trying to give something away—a smile. It can’t be done. It always comes back, even a confirmed grouch will return it. Try it.

Congratulations to the PCHS Lady Panthers Soccer Team for winning the Lakeshore Shootout Tournament this past weekend.

Well, the 2021 Polar Plunge at Logan Martin Lake is done. Members of the Pell City Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors were on-hand to offer support and go live as Pell City Police Officers and others took the plunge to raise money for Alabama Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics. The water at Pell City Lakeside Park wasn’t very deep, but participants could agree that Logan Martin Lake was still chilly. Thanks to all who made this possible.
