End of the Year
It's hard to believe that the end of the school year is almost here! I want to thank you for supporting your child during their year of musical growth.
I want to especially thank the parents & guardians of our PMHS Seniors; for encouraging and supporting them throughout their high school career. It is a great accomplishment for them to complete their music journey here in the Pennsville School District.
Congratulations to our Seniors, Class of 2023:
Jaida McCaffery
Summer Morrison
Kairi Schrenker
Mason Tanyer
I wish them all the best in the next chapter of their lives!
