We would love to celebrate our awesome seniors at our Senior Honors Celebration, but we need your help. If your student has earned a merit based/academic/community scholarship, and you would like to help us celebrate them at our Senior Honors Celebration please complete the following questionnaire (link below) and let us know what scholarships they have earned. We will hold our Seniors Honors Celebration during tutorial (11:10-11:55am) on April 28th. We will have a short ceremony honoring their achievements, that families have reported, followed by cookies in the commons. Just a reminder please only report merit/academic/ and community honors. All Athletic honors are celebrated at our signing day ceremonies and will not be focused on for this ceremony. April 21st is the deadline to get your information to us. Thanks for your support and congratulations on your students continued success!

Welcome back Panthers! Your PHS counseling team is excited to bring you another year of Counselor Talks! This is a monthly speaking series where you can learn about a wide range of topics. We are covering everything from applying to highly selective colleges to managing test anxiety, from being a college athlete to exploring the tech/trade school path. Our first talk is on Thursday, September 12 during tutorial and will be led by Dr. Whitlow who leads the PHS Writing Center. Dr. Whitlow will share all she knows about making your college/scholarship application essay stand out and give you that edge.
