This generous contribution will make a wonderful addition to the high school library. It was an incredible honor to welcome these guests to PHS - thank you for your service! 🇺🇸
The Multicultural Club came together to assemble homeless kits and organize other donations for Christian Neighbors, supporting those experiencing homelessness in our community.

On Halloween, PHS counselors organized a special cider and donut celebration to honor seniors for their achievements in post-secondary planning. Throughout the month of October, seniors had the opportunity to earn tickets as they completed post-secondary planning steps and at the celebration, they were able to turn in their tickets for college-themed items, including pennants, lanyards, water bottles, stickers, sunglasses and other dorm room essentials.
Special thanks to our Counselors, the PHS Registrar and Mrs. Phaneuf for your support in making this event a success for our Class of 2026 Trojans!
