Mock Car Accident

This Thursday, April 29th, we will be staging a mock car accident in cooperation with Mothers Awareness on School-age Kids, Phoenix Police, Phoenix Fire and Air Evac.  We will follow this up with an assembly for juniors and seniors where we will discuss the importance of making good decisions while driving.  We hope to bring greater awareness to our entire school community regarding safe driving and that it will encourage conversations around your dinner table about making good decisions.

This event may cause some delays getting into school on Thursday morning so please take this into consideration when making plans.

Parents of Pinnacle - POP Star Applications

Each year Parents of Pinnacle (POP) sponsor approximately fifteen $500 scholarships for graduating seniors.  The only requirement for a student to apply is that they are able to explain what makes them a "POP Star" at PHS.  It can be anything from school spirit to academic prowess.  We have seniors apply who have done extraordinary things for the community or are involved in several different clubs, activities, or sports.  All it takes to apply is to pick up an application from counseling, fill it out, and get it turned in by the end of school this Friday, April 9. 

We all owe Parents of Pinnacle a big thank you for all they do for PHS and for sponsoring these wonderful scholarships that will help our seniors move on to college.
