As schools across the nation receive their district report card results, Pana Junior High School has proudly earned an "Exemplary" designation, pointing to strong academic development, attention to detail, and improving learning environments for its students. PJHS Principal, Lisa Mayhall speaks to the changes the school has undergone both in instruction and attitude towards learning.

Principal Mayhall speaks to the narrow view the state assessment shows for a given student, but educators and students went in prepared and with the right mindset.

School attendance is another contributing factor to the Illinois Report card and Principal Mayhall is happy to report issues on that end have largely been taken care of.
