Four outstanding PHS students are heading to the OASC BASIC Leadership Workshop this week: Adylee Jurado, Alexis Jurado, Grace Van Oort, and Aron Barrera. This workshop aims to develop student leaders through training and hands-on experiences, empowering them to enhance their local student council and school culture.

These delegates will dive deep into leadership skills, dedicating 10-12 hours each day to learning and practicing in student council groups. These groups mirror the dynamics of local councils, fostering collaboration between advisors and members to achieve common goals.

We're confident that Adylee, Aron, Grace, and Alexis will actively participate, improve their leadership abilities, and bring back valuable insights to strengthen our school community. Best of luck to our PHS representatives at the OASC BASIC!

PHS Parent Newsletter summer edition) is now available, and I encourage all of you to take a few moments to read it. My message at the beginning of the newsletter addresses a new state law banning cell phones in all schools from the beginning to the end of the school day. This is an important change that will affect all students, and I will also discuss it with freshman parents at orientation on July 28th.

The newsletter also contains other vital information, including details about upcoming enrollment confirmation, back-to-school resources, the continuation of our summer feeding program, and a summary of recent Dragon News from our busy summer.

We wish you and your families a happy and safe 4th of July holiday!
