Thank You, YAHL Leaders! 🎉
A huge shoutout to our incredible Youth Action for Health Leadership (YAHL) representatives, Makenzie Schatz and Aisha Ensley, for hosting this year's annual training day for PHS freshmen!
Through this training, every freshman is empowered to become a health advocate—learning to reduce risk factors like tobacco/vaping, obesity, and lack of exercise in our community.
We deeply value our partnership with YAHL (funded by TSET - Tobacco Settlement Endowment) and appreciate Bryan Young for integrating this critical training into our Freshmen Leadership Program. Our students are ready to continue the charge for a healthier PHS!

📣 Teacher Shout-Out: Sam Resendiz! 🍎
We're so proud to celebrate PHS Junior English Teacher, National Honor Society Sponsor, and Dragon Alum, Sam Resendiz! 🐉
Sam is a fantastic example of the importance of finding and KEEPING great teachers in the classroom. She's creative, smart, and connects deeply with her students, serving as a true role model.
This week, her students took charge of their Romanticism unit! Sam's "think outside the box" approach led them outdoors to plan activities exploring how spending time in nature can be a form of escapism, making their learning hands-on and relevant and helping them make sense of complex themes of literature.
Thank you, Sam, for your compassion, dedication, and for making a huge difference in our school and community! ❤️ #GreatTeachersMatter #DragonAlum #PHS
