Your support—whether through attending conferences, volunteering with Boosters, supporting PHS Athletics, or participating in events like The Fall Classic and College Fairs—makes a real difference for our students and staff. We’re committed to strengthening these connections and are excited to work with our Class Sponsors on new ways to get families involved.
Stay tuned for more opportunities to engage and continue building our supportive community. Thank you for all you do!
