A new group on the PHS campus is our Quiz Bowl team, guided by the capable hands of Mrs. Kendrick and Mrs. Storm. 🧠✨ PHS is excited to host the Regional Tournament in February, and we can’t wait to see what this team accomplishes along the way! We’re cheering on Zoe, Evangeline, Rylie, Roma, and Ben (with a little help from River Storm) as they represent PHS with knowledge, teamwork, and confidence. 📚🏆 Go, Apaches! 💛🖤 #OurTribeStory
Profe Dixon “caught” Landon Buckman being good in Spanish class when Landon noticed a classmate who needed extra support—and stepped right in to help! We are so grateful for teachers like Profe Dixon and students like Landon who make kindness and teamwork part of everyday life at PHS. 💛🖤 Way to go, Landon! #OurTribeStory
No School Tuesday, January 27, 2026.
One of the "otterly" silly traditions we love at PHS is the hiding-and-finding game for Mr. Otterton, our emotional support otter. 🦦😂 (And let’s be honest…the Sonic gift card reward doesn’t hurt either! 🥤🍟) Officer Garza and his daughters have hidden Mr. Otterton somewhere in the building…so the big question is: who will find him next? 👀🎉 You never know what kind of fun is happening in Apache Country! 💛🖤 #OurTribeStory #SchoolLikeNoOtter
Mrs. Prince works with more than forty students in the PHS internship program, helping them gain real-world experience and prepare for life after high school. 🌟 Some of our early birds even meet with her each Tuesday morning for “zero period” from 7:15–8:00 AM! ⏰📚 Meeting the needs of our students—and supporting them no matter how early the day starts—is a priority at PHS. We’re proud of this program and the dedication behind it! 💛🖤 #OurTribeStory
❄️🏆 SNOW GUESS CHAMPION! 🏆❄️
Shoutout to Lexi Young, who was the ONLY person to guess 5 7/8 inch of snow! The official measurement was taken at 8:00 AM from the top of my patrol car, and Lexi nailed it 💯👏 Because of that spot-on guess, she’s taking home a $50 Chick-fil-A gift card courtesy of the Pottsville School District Police Department. Thanks to everyone who played along and made our Snowpocalypse a little more fun! ☃️🚓

Colors’ Day wouldn’t be complete without a pep rally! 📣🔥 As Apaches cheered on our basketball team, classes also battled it out for the coveted spirit stick. So many students make our pep rallies a success—the band 🎶, the choir 🎤, the cheerleaders 📣, the game players, and this time… the sophomores, who took home the WIN! 🏆👏 Way to show that Apache pride, Class of 2027! 💛🖤 #OurTribeStory
Colors’ Day wouldn’t have happened without the mamas! 💛💐 We are so grateful for these incredible women who support their children—and our school—with their time, talents, and servant hearts. Your dedication helps make PHS the special place it is, and we appreciate you more than you know! 🖤👏 #OurTribeStory
Parents and guardians of Pottsville Senior High Beta Club members. National Beta Club has made adjustments to the Hot Springs Senior High convention schedule due to the potential for winter precipitation in most of the state on Friday. These changes require an earlier departure from PHS on Thursday 1/22/26, than initially expected. Students should arrive at PHS at 4:30 AM and depart shortly after. Students will arrive back to PHS at approximately 10:00AM on Friday. Students will then attend Friday classes as scheduled. This will allow all students and sponsors to return before winter precipitation begins, though we continue to monitor the timing of the storm closely. Thank you for understanding.
Colors Day was a celebration to remember!
We are incredibly proud of our Colors Day Maids for representing our school with class, confidence, and pride. Thank you for honoring this tradition and making the day so special for our school community.

Ever wonder what goes on in the PHS office once the students leave? 👀😂 Here’s a little sneak peek behind the scenes! Even after the final bell rings, our team keeps things running—and we always manage to have a little fun along the way. 💛🖤 #OurTribeStory
Ms. Jody “caught” Kyanna and Katie being good this week and immediately found them buttons to celebrate their kind actions! 🌟👏Our community is stronger when we notice the good and take time to celebrate it—and Ms. Jody plays such an important role in making that happen at PHS. 💛🖤 Thanks for helping our tribe shine! #OurTribeStory
