In one of the best collaborations in PHS history, Ms. Falls and her students invited Mrs. Hare's kiddos into the science lab for a carousel of cell lessons. Shout out to all the students, who worked so well together and made their teachers smile!
Our basketball teams swept Rose Bud to start off Pottsville's Thanksgiving break. Apache fans look forward to a fun and successful season!
PHS faculty and staff had a fierce Thanksgiving coloring competition, and Mr. Dean--with a little help from Lynna Dean--won a $10 Sonic gift card for the winning artwork. We hope the ice cream was yummy, Lynna!

Pottsville, lately. Setting up the community Christmas tree, learning about Draft Day, and cooking some fry bread, all this past week!
Ryley Hemba was "caught being good" by Mrs. Millsaps today! Congratulations, Ryley!
Congratulations to our October Teachers of the Month, Mrs. Storm and Mrs. Kendrick! They make a great team! #OurTribeStory
PHS Beta students celebrated their favorite veterans with a pancake breakfast and big smiles!
For our last football pep rally (and senior night), students and teachers participated in skits and spirit. Junior class came up with the win!
PHS Marching Apache Band takes first place! So much hard work, and so many talented musicians!
PHS media specialist Mrs. Whorton often collaborates with other teachers. Last week, she worked with Mrs. Hare's students during their unit on cells, reviewing the different parts and then "cooking" one with some sweet treats.
Students in Forensic Science practiced their sketching abilities by drawing their classmates' faces. Some renderings were a little more recognizable than others. :)
Mrs. Braeutigam won a dozen of Bly's Bites this past week; she finished the day with the most clothespins. Ask a PHS teacher if you want the details!
Mrs. Kendrick's science students participated in "the survivor curve" project, looking for the right characteristics for a bubble to increase its survival rate. A fun way to test a hypothesis!
Ms. Nelson's art classes continue the PHS theme (toad-ally the best school!) with their group artwork. Our students have created a gallery in the hallways; these artists are so talented and creative!
In honor of Native American Heritage Month, students in Mrs. Whorton's library classes read "Fry Bread" by Kevin Noble Maillard and made traditional fry bread. Students learned about where the tradition of fry bread came from and got the hands-on experience of making their own fry bread, choosing between taco toppings or sweet options like honey or cinnamon sugar.
Tripp Price makes another appearance as a PHS student who is "caught being good" every time we turn around!
Computer science students focused on coding checkerboards this week. Rylee finished the work early and pulled out her book--the PHS way to use extra time.
