We were thrilled to kick-off our student driven healthy habits campaign at PHS this year. Awareness campaigns are most effective when led by student leaders. A huge thanks to Jeanae and Aisha, field organizers from TSET, for their focus on tobacco prevention and teenage obesity.
PHS Leadership class conducted mock interviews today. This program has been such a great addition to our school and I appreciate the hard work of Krysta Matthews. This is a great example of the type of "soft skills" all of our students need for college and career readiness.
After revealing the gym floor to our basketball teams, it is time to reveal it to the public. I know all of our student athletes are excited to play on this court. Make sure to come out and watch them this year!
Thanks to Leah Pollan and the League of Women Voters for conducting a voter registration on campus. I was pleased to see many of our seniors register. Oklahoma ranked in the bottom 5 states for voter participation in 2020 according to the Census Bureau. Go vote on Nov 8!
Please read the PHS Parent Newsletter this week for information on student mental health awareness, parent-teacher conference info, voter registration @ the high school, safety updates, parent info on math & literacy assessments and much more!

Cole Sharp's 4th hour Okla History is our PHS Class of the Week. I observed the class dive into great small group discussions over the Trail of Tears and Indian Removals yesterday. An example of the importance of students understanding the connections between past and present.
It was a beautiful early fall morning for students to gather at the pole this morning for fellowship. Thankful for our school and community mentors who serve and guide our young people. And they brought donuts!
I'm thrilled to see the revival of Choir @ PHS & PJHS. The loss of choir was a consequence of Covid. Cindy Donaldson, our new choir teacher, has breathed life into this program in a few short months. Choir and all fine arts programs are a critical part of high school.
