PHS PTA NEEDS YOUR HELP!
The PHS PTA does several events throughout the year to support all 180 teachers and staff at our school. We prepare a catered back-to-school breakfast in August, give them special treats around the holidays and during teacher appreciation week, then serve a catered luncheon with a raffle at the end of each year. This year, we have a brand new principal at PHS, and we're also providing funds so he can give PHS swag to the entire staff. We need to raise $7,500 this fall to cover the costs of the welcome back breakfast and the PHS swag for the entire staff. Please help if you can! Donations Will Benefit PHS Parent Advisory Council
