Students spent their lunch time in the media center for one week and Mabell taught them step by step how to create their fall painting. Students were able to take home their creations after they finished. The Media Center will be sponsoring a Winter themed paint party during the month of December. Students should check their email for sign up
Allied Health created an education and photo booth in recognition of Hospice Awareness month. Students, teachers, and staff were invited to come learn and participate.
Members of PHS SkillsUSA, competed at the Region 1 Skills Challenge today held at the Catoosa Fairgrounds in Rome. Students competed in; Carpentry, Blue Print Reading, Masonry, Residential Wiring, Plumbing and Welding.
Today, PHS students were inspired by motivational speaker Kevin Atlas. Standing nearly seven feet tall and with his left arm amputated just below the elbow, Kevin faced significant adversity throughout his life. Born and raised in the Bay Area of California, he grew up in a split-custody household, endured the early death of his father, and faced countless critics.
Despite these challenges, Kevin rose to become one of the top high school basketball players in California. After spending a postgraduate year at a military school in Virginia, he earned a full athletic scholarship to join the Manhattan College Jaspers in New York City. In doing so, Kevin made history as the first disabled athlete to receive a full Division I scholarship in NCAA basketball.
Kevin's story is one of resilience, determination, and triumph in the face of adversity, and he shared his powerful journey with our students today.
Congratulations to these Senior Superlatives!
Perfect Attendance for October!
