Beautiful weather and an 8-0 Dragon win to open tourney. 2 homers for Creed Smith. Hayden Harp also homered. Nate Willis hits an inside the park. Thanks Dragon Fire booster club for great work and Stephanie Knowles for student section. Great job players and Coach Sharp and Young
We started an adulting class this year at the high school. It's part of our focus on real-life skills and supporting transitions to adulthood. It's taught by Zoe Swift and Mindy Wells. We cover money management, relationships, family, career and much more. We want every high school kid to take this class. Last week they focused on basic auto care: Tuesday thanks to Purcell Firefighter, Kraig Edelman, these Dragons learned a little bit about what is under the hood of a car, how to jump start a vehicle, and even gave them hands-on experience changing a tire! Many students expressed how much confidence they had gained by getting this experience! Thank you Mr. Edelman!
Great day for baseball!

I'm a big believer in field trips. Students who take field trips are more likely to engage in learning, find meaning in their learning, and explore new interests. Thanks to art teachers Jon Corea and Lena Blanton for taking students to OU Museum of Art last week. Great experience

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!
