(8/25) Congratulations to PHS Juniors, Jude Hammer and Ellie Swain for being accepted into the one-week Mississippi Summer Transportation Institute at the Rula School of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Mississippi State University. They experienced transportation modes including air, water, road, rail, and transmission through classroom, laboratory, and field trip experiences. Field trips included Columbus Air Force Base, Aurora Flight Science, PACCAR, Raspet Flight Research Laboratory, Mississippi Agriculture and Forestry Museum, MDOT, MMC, the Tenn-Tom Waterway, and Center for Advanced Vehicular Systems (CAVS). They also experimented with bridge design, building, and testing.

These Warriors were two of ten students to receive full MSTI scholarships, thanks to the generosity of the Mississippi Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration, Mississippi Transportation Institute, Ergon, MSU Bagley College of Engineering, and MSU Richard A. Rula School of Civil and Environmental Engineering.

(8/24) Congratulations to PHS seniors, Kara Best and Katlyn Mayes, for completing the Summer 2026 Rural Medical and Science Scholars Program - a 2 week residential summer program at Mississippi State University. Practical lab-based learning activities were integrated throughout the program to enhance knowledge and skills. Workshops pertaining to communication, team building/critical thinking, and study skills helped to launch their college careers. They each completed one health science college-level course for college credit and also took part in activities at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson.

Both Kara and Katlyn received full tuition scholarships to RMSS through the Toyota Wellspring Education Fund, which is administered by the CREATE Foundation. Way to go!

(8/20) Students in Mrs. Alley's and Mrs. Taylor's senior English classes are reading Animal Farm, by George Orwell. Today, they participated in the Build the Windmill Challenge; students worked together to build a functional windmill with limited supplies, but the rules of the challenge kept changing! Students reflected on one of Animal Farm's primary themes: Fairness.
