With September being Hunger Action Month and this unit surrounding agriculture, natural resources and food, what better way to celebrate than by discussing this important issue over some farm fresh apples. 🍎
Hoping these seniors recognize the importance of philanthropy and how having a math background can be useful in any profession! 🧡


🔥Congratulations to all the athletes who competed in the Unified PE Field Games at Dunlap today! Amazing job, everyone! 🔥#DoingGreatThings #UnifiedSports










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!
