We will be postponing FOOTBALL practice to Tuesday to allow students and staff who would like to attend Bonnie Moody’s funeral and visitation to have the ability to do so. Mrs. Moody was a member of the PMS staff for over 20 years and had an incredible impact on many individuals in our community. If there are any questions, please email Coach Roberson or message one of the coaches in the TeamReach app.
Due to Mrs. Moody’s funeral being on Monday at 3:00pm I will be postponing volleyball tryouts until Tuesday 8/2 from 3:45-5:45. Mrs. Moody was a beloved member of Pickens Middle School Staff for 25 years and touched many lives throughout her time at Pickens, mine included.
We will still have three days of tryouts: Tuesday 8/2, Wednesday 8/3, and Thursday 8/4. Sorry for any inconvenience, and I am stoked to see y’all on Tuesday! Please email Coach Henderson if you have any questions. #sparkpride
We are deeply saddened to announce the loss of Mrs. Bonnie Moody, longtime ISS Instructor and member of the Pickens Middle family. Mrs. Moody fought cancer valiantly for many years and was a role model for our staff and students in her efforts to never give up in her fight. She will be remembered fondly for her fiery spirit and personality, and she will be sorely missed by the SPARK NATION. #sparkpride

We are excited to welcome several excellent addition to the faculty for the 22-23. Please help us in welcoming Ms. Ashley Heath as a new guidance counselor!
A message from Ms. Heath:
I am Ashley Lark Heath, the new head guidance counselor at Pickens Middle. I grew up in Pickens, attending both Pickens Middle and Pickens High. After graduating from Clemson University with a degree in Elementary Education, I moved to North Carolina and taught 6th grade ELA/SS for 8 years. I moved back to Pickens in 2019 and have spent the last 3 years teaching 5th grade ELA at Six Mile Elementary. Currently I am in graduate school to obtain a Master’s in School Counseling. Being a middle school counselor has been my dream for many years, and I am thrilled about this opportunity to join the Pickens Middle family!
