We are excited to announce this edition of the Flying the P award. Mylee Hansen has been a tremendous student athlete at PCHS. She has represented the Dragons for multiple years on the basketball court, soccer field, and football field. She has had tremendous success in multiple sports. In particular, she has made over 100 extra points as a kicker on the gridiron. Recently, she committed to become the first female player in Monmouth College football history and will also be a two-sport college athlete by playing on the Monmouth College soccer team! Currently, there are no female players on an NCAA roster at the three division levels. You have represented PCHS with pride! You inspire others every day and are a great example of The Dragon Way!

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.
Dr. Danielle Owens
