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!
