Pike Road students start what will be a historic school yearby WAKA Action 8 NewsPIKE ROAD, Ala. (WAKA) – Students in Pike Road Schools have returned to class for what will be a historic school year for the system. That’s because high school students who are beginning the year at the Georgia Washington campus will be moving in January to the new high school that’s being completed on Wallahatchie Road. Once students in grades 9-12 move to the new high school, the current Georgia Washington campus will become the middle school campus, with grades 6-8. “We want Pike Road to be a place these kids graduate from, they come back home to,” Pike Road Town Council Member Angie Bradsher said. This year’s Pike Road senior class has a little more than 200 students.
