PCHS very much understands and knows that our Stadium is a beloved facility and used by many in our community! We feel the same way and are excited to celebrate its anniversary this coming weekend. However, since this summer we have continued to see an increase in vandalism and abuse of this area resulting in the need to call police. Ultimately, we are a public school and student/staff safety is our utmost priority and concern. For that reason, we currently have the need to limit the use of this facility to our students and those who have permission to be there; keeping it locked during outside hours will help protect our Dragons. We appreciate your understanding on this matter.
