Pottsville High School

Mr. Dean teaches Accelerated Algebra II, AP Precalculus, and AP Calculus—often guiding the same group of students for three years in a row! 📘✨ His AP scores are among the best in the River Valley, a testament to his dedication and talent as a teacher. In addition to his math magic, Mr. Dean sponsors both Hope Squad, CSU, and the Chess Club ♟️—three groups that reflect his heart for problem-solving and people. And while his dad jokes may sometimes fall flat, he’s still one of the most beloved teachers on the PHS campus! 💛🖤 #OurTribeStory

🌸 Sweet Friendship Refreshes the Soul 🌸

When life takes an unexpected turn, the love of friends can bring the sweetest comfort. 💛 After one of our students was in a car accident, her amazing friends came together to create this thoughtful gift basket, filled with care, encouragement, and well wishes for a speedy recovery. 🧺✨

Moments like these remind us that kindness and friendship truly refresh the soul. 💕 #FriendshipGoals #KindnessMatters #GetWellSoon

While we love seeing the polished performances of our award-winning band, here’s a little peek behind the scenes at how the magic happens. 🎶✨ During fourth period, out on the asphalt, Mr. Sullivan leads these dedicated musicians line by line through the rubric—fine-tuning every note, rhythm, and step. 🥁🎺 Their attention to detail and commitment to excellence are what make those halftime moments so unforgettable. These students (and their incredible directors!) give so much of their time and energy to make the music happen—and we couldn’t be prouder! 💛🖤 #OurTribeStory

📸🎤 Campaign Speeches + Spirit Week Fun! 🎉

This week, Mrs. Brownlee's AP Language students have been recording their campaign speeches as part of a project on how audience shapes a speaker’s choices. Each group created their own political party, wrote a platform, and hit the “campaign trail” right here in class.

And since it’s also Homecoming Spirit Week, you might notice some unique outfits in the videos — today’s theme was Redneck Day! Our students had a blast showing their school spirit while also stepping into the role of politicians, speechwriters, and campaigners. 🗳️✨

Learning + laughter = the best kind of classroom! ❤️💛🖤
