Principal's Message
Welcome to the start of the 2022-2023 academic year! My vision for Portage High School is to continue to improve on a school environment where students feel safe, comfortable, challenged and engaged in class. My goal is to provide you with helpful information regarding the start of the new school year.
We look forward to accomplishing our mission of Educating, Empowering and Inspiring Excellence in our students at Portage High School. As stated in a famous ancient African proverb, “It takes a village to raise a child”. I ask that you continue to maintain this partnership with us as we want nothing less than success for our students.
As a reminder, the first day of school is Wednesday, August 17th. Our school day runs from 7:30 a.m. to 2:35 p.m. The building opens at 7:00 a.m.
If you have questions about anything, please contact us as we would like to know how we can best meet the needs of your children.
Sincerely,
Mike Stills, Principal
