School days in Pawnee are now on a “traditional” class schedule across the board, meaning every class meets everyday.  This is a change from its use of the “block” system, where classes would take place in double-length periods on alternating days.  Scheduling and remodeling are among the many changes which have taken place within the school district, with many stakeholders involved in the arrangements. 

Nicole Goodall is the principal of Pawnee High School and Junior High School.  She believes the newer scheduling system is ideal for students’ learning habits and for matching up with the elementary school schedule. 

The school library has undergone significant renovations in the last year.  It includes several technological components to meet the logistical needs of learning today.

Goodall also references student leadership groups, saying she hopes to account for their thoughts in key school-related decisions.
