Maintain a continuous communication channel from students to both faculty and administration, as well as among the students within the school.
Offer a year-long program of social functions and community involvement projects for students.
Organize, facilitate, and oversee class officer elections
YEARBOOK
Students who work on the Sentinel, our school yearbook, compose a chronology of the year’s events that students hold forever. The yearbook is our history. Students desiring to work on the yearbook should contact the advisors.
Purchasing a yearbook may be done in advance during the announced order period or in June when yearbooks are delivered (Note: there will be a limited number of yearbooks available in June – Seniors have first choice in June yearbook sales).
PLEASE NOTE: the yearbook is a student publication. Every attempt is made to make every yearbook an accurate account of the year; however, some errors are bound to occur. The school will not reimburse anyone for a yearbook due to errors such as; inaccuracies, missing photographs, incorrect spelling of names, or incorrect labeling of student names. Any and all questions or comments regarding the yearbook should be brought to the attention of the yearbook advisors.
FUNDRAISING
ALL fundraising activities MUST be approved by PMHS administration.
No door to door solicitation is permitted for any PMHS fundraiser.
