What better way to celebrate Red Ribbon Week than to decorate a pumpkin? The competition was fierce, but FFA won the grand prize (donuts!) with their take on "Say No to Crack."






ANO guest speakers visited PHS science classrooms to discuss STEM careers and inspire our students to continue on their academic path in math and science. We are so grateful for our community's commitment to the next generation!

PHS PE with Coach Rust is always a fun way to get some exercise and visit with friends. The class is also a great way to form new friendships and take a break from technology and paper.




Peyton Shewmake, Evelyn Sanchez, Emma Manning, and Jara Kattes will be competing in Historic Cane Hill's annual art competition. Only a few artists were accepted to display their work at the exhibition (from November 9th to January 20th). Huge congratulations to these talented girls!

Mrs. Braeutigam invited Jennifer and Jessica from Simmons Bank to visit her Quantitative Reasoning class. Students learned about checking and savings accounts, loans, credit cards, and ways to build credit. PHS loves guest speakers from the community!


PHS cheer took third place at their first competition for the season! Great job, ladies!

Hey, all you Apache fans, stand up and clap your hands! PHS cheered for the football team in the first-ever pep rally in the Beast Factory parking lot. Junior high students joined in the fun. We'll do it again next year, Apaches!

Congratulations to Alyssa Nuckols!
She was the winner of the $250 Scholarship from Arkansas Tech University at the "Battle of the Big River" football game!


Mrs. Tanner's seniors work on a slide presentation as they finish their "Legend of Sleepy Hollow" unit. Lots of "spooky" projects currently going on in PHS classes!



October Student of the Month: Tripp Price! If you feel a moment of deja vu, don't worry: Tripp was honored as Student of the Month last year, too. He's pretty great!


PSD Families,
There is a delay in bus transportation today. Buses are running approximately 15 to 20 minutes behind schedule. We appreciate your understanding and patience. We’ll keep you updated as necessary. Have a great day!

Can you escape hysteria? Mrs. Brownlee's Junior English classes completed an escape room after reading "The Crucible" by Arthur Miller. The winners from each class will receive a Sonic drink from Mrs. Brownlee.





Mrs. Broyles presented Jose Alcantar with a "caught being good" button. The only thing brighter than Jose's smile is his future!

Apache Showcase Nov 4th 5-8


A UACCM recruiter visited with students this past week, and they learned about the different programs available just twenty minutes down the road. Several PHS students are enrolled on both campuses--a great option for those who want the benefits of concurrent classes!



Mrs. Storm and Mrs. Kendrick welcomed guest speakers from ANO into their classrooms to discuss STEM careers, specifically those available at the nuclear reactor, where average salaries span from $60,000 to $130,000. Students had the opportunity to ask questions and learn about the science behind this clean energy source.



This group of biology students took a quiz over microscopes and then moved to the lab to practice using their knowledge with real ones. Second-period Biology is FULL of big tenth-grade (and teacher) personalities!





Mrs. Brooka Potts stepped in to cover the concession stand during a recent volleyball game, and she earned her first "caught being good" button. We catch Mrs. Potts being good every day!
