In addition, on Thursday, October 12, Mrs. Steciow will be presenting to senior parents about 12th graders "Next Steps" including career planning and college applications in the media center from 6:00- 7:00 pm.
On Monday, October 16, Mr. Kenyon will be presenting to Junior parents about the next steps for 11th grade students, including career exploration and college visits.
A note- October 12 is a very busy evening at PPHS with a MS Conference meet and a home HS Volleyball match starting at 5:00 here on campus. As a result, we'll be directing traffic, and there may be a slight delay in the driveway as we direct parents and collect parking fees for those attending the cross country meet. If you're coming to conferences, let the guides know and they'll get you to the right spot with no parking fee.

Today is National Custodian Appreciation Day! At PPPS, we appreciate all the ways our dedicated custodians add to a culture of kindness, respect and safety across the district and in each school building.
