PHSC Student Bulletin
November 2, 2018
From the Principal
Last week was a difficult week as we saw more altercations than we typically do. If you need to resolve an issue, please seek out your trusted adult, a counselor, a social worker or an administrator to help you work through it. It is never a good idea to take matters into your own hands as you can never predict the outcome. You have a staff at PHSC that is here to help you.
