The Red Pride Cup is a yearlong competition between the four PHS classes designed to celebrate what makes our school great: showing up, working hard, making good choices, getting involved, and supporting one another.
Throughout the year, freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors will earn points for their class through attendance, academic success, positive behavior, participation in PHS events, and recognition of others. There will be plenty of opportunities to earn points, and standings will be shared throughout the year.
At the end of each semester, one class will be crowned Red Pride Cup Champions and earn the opportunity for an individual final exam exemption for eligible students.
Every student can make a difference. Every Day Counts. Every Point Counts. Who will take home the Red Pride Cup?

Mr. Burkhardt’s Forensic Science students are putting their investigative skills to the test as they tackle their forensics project: processing their very own crime scenes from start to finish!
Students are learning to strategically determine which search patterns to use, carefully photograph the scene and evidence, create detailed sketches drawn to an appropriate scale, and properly secure, document, and collect evidence.
As students work through the process, they’re quickly discovering that forensic science isn’t all excitement and detective work. There’s also a LOT of paperwork! Accurate documentation and careful evidence handling are essential parts of the job—and students are getting firsthand experience with just how much attention to detail forensic investigations require.
It’s a hands-on project that brings the skills and concepts from the classroom to life while giving students a glimpse into the meticulous work of real forensic investigators.
