(11/21) PHS recognized students who met their Mississippi MAAP growth goals or scored proficient/advanced on one or more of last year’s state assessments (English II, Algebra I, Biology I, and U.S. History) with a school-sponsored field trip to the Malco Cinema in Oxford today, seeing the movie debut of Wicked: For Good.

(11/20) PHS was well represented at the CREATE Foundation's Annual Meeting at the Cadence Bank Conference Center. Two of our PHS Northeast Mississippi Youth Foundation Board Members, Callie Kidd and Kyleigh Conner, served as volunteers for the event. Also, Mrs. Joy Chunn, EL Director, took the stage and served on the Toyota Wellspring Education Fund Panel portion of the program titled Driving Educational Excellence. She discussed ways the Toyota Driving Possibilities Program is benefitting students. Great job by all!

(11/20) Spanish class is more than just grammar rules and pronunciation. Learning about culture and the history behind traditions is also meaningful… and fun! Mrs Fly said, "I am so proud of all the hard work my classes put in to create their own piñatas!"
