SUPERINTENDENT'S HONOR ROLL - SENIORS - FALL SEMESTER - 2024
GPA of 4.0 or greater and no grade lower than a B.
2024 Fall Perfect Attendance. These students did not miss a day, for any reason, the entire semester! Good attendance is crucial for student success. Thank you parents for reinforcing this value at home.
One of the reasons we have such strong attendance is the emphasis our teachers place on building student relationships. Students are more likely to attend class regularly if a teacher has focused on strong teacher-student relationships. PHS teachers prioritize strong relationships with our students.
I would also like to thank and recognize the excellent work of our PHS attendance team: Aaron Dillard, Dean of Students and Candy Tuck, Attendance Secretary.

The boys will be back in action tomorrow in Verdigris. They will play Kiefer at 9:30 AM and Verdigris at 4 PM. All games will be at the Verdigris Activity Center and streamed on hudl.
