(9/10) Community Service is a core requirement of the JROTC program to teach good citizenship, leadership, and personal responsibility.

On Tuesday, September 8, PHS JROTC Cadets stepped out of the classroom and onto the diamond to volunteer with Tupelo Park and Recs Challenger League athletes for an evening of softball and teamwork.

Throughout the event, cadets assisted the athletes with batting, running the bases, and fielding. The evening proved to be an inspiring and awesome experience for all of the cadets involved, highlighting the impact of service.

(9/10) Thank you to Sgt. Reeves and Sgt. Brown for visiting and speaking to College and Career Readiness classes about Mississippi Army National Guard careers and benefits.

(9/4) Ms. Rogers biology 1 classes reviewed for their test this week by playing the trivia game - Flip Phone Trivia - where the students could “phone a friend” if they needed help OR decode a clue from Ms. Rogers using the old school keypad on flip phones to get to the letters. The students LOVED the review activity and even volunteered to do this week's test review.

(9/2) Anna Crudup and Rhonda Newman of the North Mississippi Health Services Human Resources Department visited PHS and spoke to College and Career Readiness classes. They discussed the many types of careers which are available at North Mississippi Medical Center locations, shared resources with students, and conducted a question and answer session with them. They also brought cookie treats for the students to enjoy. PHS says a special thank you to these ladies and to North Mississippi Health Services for all they do for our students!
