Juniors and Seniors set to Mentor 8th Grade Students for our Annual 8th Grade Transition Day.
A group of just over 60 juniors and seniors, are planning to host our annual 8th grade transition day on May 22nd. The 8th grade students will be introduced to all that PHS has to offer. There will be a clubs/activities fair, a panel discussion where 8th grade students can ask questions about high school of our seniors, as well as school tours. We look forward to hosting the class of 2022 on that day!
Event Information
2018 Scholarship Awards Program
The PHS Scholarship night is an annual event to honor seniors who have earned scholarships for college. Seniors have been encouraged to let student services know if they are receiving a scholarship so they can be honored at this event. The high school is not always notified of scholarships awarded so it is important that students report their awards to us!
