Opportunity for 9-12 Chickasaw students.

Last week Jenny Allen-Price, PHS English & special education teacher, & Dan Smith, PHS paraprofessional, took their kids on a field trip to visit the Outsiders Museum in Tulsa Oklahoma. The students have been reading the famous book by S.E. HInton that's based in Oklahoma. The book became a famous movie that was filmed in Tulsa in 1983. It was amazing for me to hear from the students how much they enjoyed the experience. I was grateful as well to Ms. Allen-Price for planning a trip for students who don't normally have these opportunities. Well done Jenny & Dan!

Dragon Alums Giving Back Yesterday the PHS Cross-Country Boys placed 14th in the State Championships. Freshman Jayden Polk finished 10th overall and made All-State and set a new PR with a time of 16:28. That time is only 9 seconds off Kyle Ginn's school record of 16:19. That record was set in 2020 and Kyle continues his Cross-Country career at Roger's State University. The part I love about this story is that Kyle came to support Jayden and the entire team yesterday offering them all support and encouragement. That's a true Dragon right there! Congratulations Kyle Ginn and thank you for representing your school and community with pride!
