The volleyball team, along with Coach Stabler and Coach Wynn, worked hard during practice to develop the skills they’ll need to make another run at the state tournament! 🏐💪✨
Championship seasons aren’t built in October—they’re built during summer workouts, early mornings, and countless repetitions. These athletes are putting in the work now so they can achieve their goals later. 🔥👏
And can we take a moment to appreciate the fun of Jersey Day? From favorite teams to favorite players, there were plenty of great choices on display! 😄🏈🏀⚾
We can’t wait to see what this team accomplishes this season. 💛🖤 #OurTribeStory

📊🎉 Congratulations to Mrs. Sullivan and her AP Statistics students on an outstanding first year!
Teaching AP Statistics at PHS for the very first time, Mrs. Sullivan guided her students through one of the most practical and applicable math courses offered. Out of the seven students who took the AP Exam, five earned a qualifying score of 3 or higher—an impressive 71.4% pass rate! 🖤💛
Statistics is much more than numbers on a page. Students learn how to collect, interpret, and analyze data, think critically, and make informed decisions using evidence—skills that are valuable in nearly every college major and career field. Through Mrs. Sullivan's instruction, these students gained knowledge that will benefit them far beyond high school.
The exciting news doesn't stop there! This year, Mrs. Sullivan is partnering with UACCM to offer Quantitative Literacy on the PHS campus. This concurrent-credit course allows students to earn three hours of college credit while receiving the support and guidance of one of our outstanding teachers.
Congratulations to Mrs. Sullivan and her students for an exceptional first year in AP Statistics! Thank you for helping prepare our Apaches for success in college, careers, and beyond. Great work, Tribe! 📈✨

📚✨ Mrs. Tanner wears many hats at Pottsville High School…and somehow manages to excel in every one of them!
As the head of the English Department, Mrs. Tanner teaches AP Literature while also inspiring one section of tenth-grade English students. This year, her AP Literature students achieved outstanding results, with 11 of 16 students (68.8%) earning a qualifying score of 3 or higher on the AP Exam. What an incredible accomplishment! 🎉
The success didn’t stop there. Mrs. Tanner’s sophomore English students also posted remarkable ATLAS results this spring, with 100% of her students earning a Level 3 or Level 4. That means every single student demonstrated proficiency at or above grade level—a testament to their hard work and Mrs. Tanner’s exceptional instruction.
And yes…this former Disney princess (literally!) and proud Pottsville graduate continues to bring a little magic to our campus every day. 👑✨
Congratulations to Mrs. Tanner and her incredible students! Thank you for making PHS a place where high expectations, hard work, and a love of learning continue to thrive. 🖤💛

📖 Yay, Mr. Dodson!
Here's another AP success story worth celebrating! This year, 100% of Mr. Dodson's AP United States History students earned a qualifying score on the AP Exam. What an incredible accomplishment! 🎉
APUSH is one of the most demanding courses a student can take, covering the story of our nation from its earliest beginnings to the present day. Success requires extensive reading, analytical writing, critical thinking, and the ability to connect historical events across centuries. It's challenging work—but Mr. Dodson and his students were more than up for the task.

📚✍️ Let's hear it for Mrs. Brownlee and her AP Lang gang!
AP English Language and Composition isn't for the faint of heart. Throughout the year, 47 PHS students immersed themselves in challenging nonfiction texts while learning to write rhetorical analyses, synthesis essays, and well-crafted arguments—skills that prepare them for success far beyond high school. Their hard work paid off! 🎉 Twenty-four students earned a qualifying score of 3 or higher on the AP Exam, an impressive 52% pass rate. Those scores mean college credit for Comp I—and for several students, even Comp II!
Congratulations to Mrs. Brownlee and her students for embracing a rigorous course, persevering through the challenges, and achieving such meaningful success. 🖤💛
And the good news doesn't stop there! Beginning this school year, Mrs. Brownlee has partnered with UACCM to offer Comp I and Comp II on the PHS campus. As part of the first cohort in this exciting pilot program, she'll provide students with another outstanding opportunity to earn college credit while still in high school.
Teachers like Mrs. Brownlee don't just teach content—they open doors, create opportunities, and help students discover what they're capable of achieving. Thank you for making Pottsville High School such a special place to learn!

This year, 2 of her 4 AP Physics students earned qualifying scores on the AP Exam, while 4 of her 6 AP Chemistry students (66.7%) earned a qualifying score of 3 or higher.

☀️ While our students are enjoying a well-earned summer break, the adults at PHS are hard at work preparing for another incredible school year! Teachers are planning lessons. Counselors are organizing schedules. Directors and coaches are rehearsing, practicing, and preparing for the seasons ahead. Custodians are making sure every hallway, classroom, and common area is spotless and ready to welcome students back. (After all, those floors aren't going to clean themselves! 😉)
Every person plays an important role in making PHS the special place it is. The work happening behind the scenes this summer may not always be visible, but it makes a tremendous difference when our students walk through the doors on August 12. Thank you to all of our incredible staff members for keeping the momentum going and investing your time, talents, and hearts into our school. We can't wait to welcome our Apaches back home! 🖤💛
