2022
PELLA HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS, FAMILIES, AND STAFF,
It is hard to believe how quickly the end of the year is approaching, especially since it still feels like late fall outside. We are very proud of the effort our students and staff have put into this year. It has been a successful year with many things to celebrate. We hope that the students have enjoyed the year
as much as we have.
We thank you for your continued support as we close out the
2021-2022 school year - GO DUTCH!!!
