I was very impressed with the work of our 9th grade physical science classes taught by veteran PHS teacher Jack McNeely. They were working on their acid and bases lab with a goal of determining whether a liquid was an acid or base. Many of us probably remember working on a science lab when attending school. This type of learning still combines all the elements of good instruction: discovery, inquiry, collaboration, and higher order thinking. Mr. McNeely teaches physical science, AP Physics, Anatomy & Zoology, and Aviation 2 at PHS. We appreciate his long service to the school and community and his dedication to his classes. Well done Jack! #phsdragons
