Holly Pliska, Class of 2017 — Pioneering Paths in Animal Science
Holly Pliska, a proud member of Q.I.’s first graduating class in 2017, attended the University of Florida, where she earned her Bachelor of Science in Animal Science in 2021. She began her studies on a pre-pharmacy track, but discovered a true passion for animal and meat science—and now works in the field at a meat processing company.
Her biggest win?
“Q.I. taught me very early on how to balance a heavy school workload with activities and clubs outside of school. This was invaluable when preparing for college and life. Being part of Q.I.’s first graduating class came with challenges, but I wouldn’t trade the experience for the world.”
She credits Q.I.’s rigorous academics for making the transition to college seamless:
“It was easy to adjust to the classes because of the amount of work we were used to doing.”
Thank you, Holly, for sharing your journey. Once a Knight, always a Knight.

Join PCSD for a LIVE parent event – Snapchat & Instagram Risks
Is your child begging for, or already using, Snapchat and Instagram? If so, join PCSD Superintendent Dr. Rick Surrency along with SmartSocial on Wednesday, November 5th at 7:00PM for a LIVE virtual event, designed to help parents learn why their kids want to Snapchat or Instagram and hidden risks you need to know about!:
These apps can be fun and creative, but big risks are hiding behind features like disappearing chats or “spam” and “finsta” accounts. What feels private to your teen can actually fuel comparison, anxiety, cyberbullying, and risky behavior.
