Dragons baseball pick up a solid 4-2 win against Mount St. Mary's at the Newcastle Wood Bat Festival. Dragons have played well against tough competition including class 6A Stillwater. Nate Willis pitched a complete game for the win. Dragons play CHA @ 4PM in Newcastle today.
Through completely his own initiative, Senior Dalton Holder, with the help of senior Raleigh Savage, organized a non-partisan voter drive through our Advisory Program. After weeks of organization they registered 35 new and future voters today. That's leadership and I'm proud.
Excited for this upcoming opportunity for our freshmen and sophomores. Thanks to Ms. Feroli for organizing the Reality Check and providing more support and guidance for kids on how to navigate life. These opportunities and our new advisory program are key parts of that vision!
Yesterday our art teacher Jon Corea and his student teacher Lena Blanton accompanied several art students to the USAO Sidewalk Art contest. Our kids had a great experience and we were able to showcase many of our talented artists. We have a great art program @ PHS!
We celebrated National Librarians Day this week. We are grateful to have April Trumbo @ PHS. She is kind, thoughtful, and always willing to help anyone. April performs duties well beyond her job responsibilities. Most importantly she always puts kids first. Thanks April!
One of the best things about working with teenagers is learning their passions. Recently I learned one of our students was a rugby player and plays all over the place. Tavian Engert is a soph at PHS and it was awesome to learn of his love for rugby. He is an awesome young man!
Proud of our Baseball Team. They were in a tight one-run game late with defending state champion and 14-1 Heritage Hall. Unfortunately we came up short but beyond excited about what's happening with our baseball program. Go Dragons! Thankful for Stephanie Knowles and her pics.
Congratulations to Coach Gowens and PHS Boys Golf. Finished 5th yesterday at the Conference Golf tournament. Juniors Brendan Bacon and Brody Galyean were low scorers for PHS. Expect to see this team continue to improve with lots of underclassmen.
Go Dragons!
This is really cool. Ms. Keen and our FFA program are doing some great things!
We currently have 3 bred heifers we are monitoring for class. Over the next two weeks in class, students will be making calving journals. They will be documenting pictures of the stages of parturition and making predictions on calving dates and the sex of the calves.
Join us in the vote!
There is a link below to vote on which heifers will have a boy or a girl. We will post the baby reveals as they are born! Stay tune this week and next for updates.

Today's scheduled baseball and softball games have been postponed. Baseball will play a doubleheader tomorrow @ Heritage Hall. Game 1 will begin @ 4:00. Also: there is no softball game tomorrow vs. Latta. That was a misprint. Thanks!

Dragons baseball remains undefeated in district and pick up 6th straight win with 7-2 win over CHA. Zach Idlett pitches a great complete game and Hayden Harp and Boston Knowles both homer. Dragons are playing some good baseball. Great job players and Coach Sharp and Coach Young!
Got Milk?
Highlight of week: visiting Erica Keen's livestock production class where they analyzed types of milk. Erica is such a talented teacher and finds creative ways to make learning experiences meaningful for kids. And the verdict was that they don't like almond milk!
