The Dragon Way is the standard we set for how we act and the way to be And we want to celebrate it each and every week by honoring an individual or group with the Flyin’ The P. The Flyin’ the P celebrates above the line behavior and actions, And each week we will honor these next level Dragons! So to kick off the year, we’d like to honor a few students who have gone above and beyond, Who created memories for themselves and PCHS staff that will always be fond. These students created a back to school staff video to celebrate the faculty as a great team, Starting the year with the Dragon Fire and a full head of steam. They weren’t done there though, the fire was just getting warmed, They participated in a guided Principal Talks, to keep our student body informed! Yeah, this group of students was involved from day 1, and you have every right to be jelly, They even came in early to serve the staff lunch— filling our bellies! Doing the little things to help build culture and welcome everyone together, Simply put, these students made the first few days of school so much better. So thank you to Elizabeth Austin, John Kroll, Emma Kroll, and Carter Owens as it’s easy to see, Why you are 2024-2025’s first winners of Flying the P!
