Today we recognize a group of individuals! Officially, they are responsible for their department's curriculum and instruction, evaluation, budget, schedule, textbooks, and more. Unofficially, they fill the role of motivator, counselor, advocate, mediator, and visionary. While juggling a full slate of managerial tasks, their leadership ensures we're all working together to meet any challenges that come our way and that we keep student success at the forefront of our collective efforts. Please join us in recognizing these Faculty/Staff Flying the P honorees: The PCHS Department Chairs!

In the space between Thanksgiving and the end of the semester, we took time to thank and recognize individuals for a daily Faculty/Staff Flying the P. Although there were unique reasons for each person's recognition, the one thing they all have in common is that they go above and beyond to make PCHS a better place for students and staff alike. Thank you to these outstanding individuals!
