PHS celebrated twenty-two students who earned Platinum on their WorkKeys test with a well-deserved Pasta Grill lunch! 🍝🎉 According to ACT, students who earn the Platinum level demonstrate the foundational skills required for 99% of jobs listed in the O*NET database. This is a top-tier credential, achieved by less than 1% of students nationwide—and we had twenty-two earn it in just one semester! 🌟💛
We are incredibly proud of these Apaches and their hard work. Way to shine! 🖤 #OurTribeStory
