Last week our homerooms completed in who could collect the most meals (stuffing, green beans, etc.) for Thanksgiving to give to the Salvation Army. In total, they collected 452 individual items that would help create a meal. The winner for the most meals collected was Mandie Hall’s homeroom. A huge thank you goes out to all students and staff who participate for giving back to the community.

Attention parents and students: School Safety is very important at PHS. We go above and beyond to help create a safe climate so that students can learn and grow. We help take care of basic needs and provide support to them when needed. On top of that, we have door barricades for lockdowns, anonymous reporting, and a wide range of practices we use on our huge campus. One of those practices is for all students to wear their ID at all times. Starting Monday, students will have to wear it to obtain a lunch. The ID itself has what lunch they are supposed to have to help cut down skipping. Please remind your students to wear them daily and to not forget them. With such a large student population, the ID helps us identify those only allowed to be on campus. We really appreciate your cooperation in this. Just like in the workforce, an ID is required at all times to know that you are one of us. Thank you!
Financial Aid Night will be held, November 9th 6:00 In the Auditorium. Seniors and parents are encouraged to attend.
