Pottsville High School

Sometimes the best learning happens away from a screen — hands-on activities help students build essential skills in a deeper, more meaningful way.

🔥 The Crucible Escape Room: Can You Escape Hysteria? 🔥
Today, Mrs. Brownlee’s Junior English students put their The Crucible knowledge (and their teamwork skills!) to the test as they raced through a series of challenges to break free from Salem’s hysteria.
🕵️‍♂️From unraveling allegories to spotting literary devices, they earned every clue and key that moved them closer to escape.
🏆 Congrats to our top teams who escaped with time to spare and claimed the much-coveted Brownlee Bucks!
So proud of the effort, the teamwork, and the dramatic flair worthy of Miller himself. ✨

Mrs. Hare "caught" Dakota being good last week when he teamed up with his friend and fellow Apache, Reese Clemons. 🎙️ Together, these two created an EAST podcast that’s earned them a bit of small-town fame—and a lot of well-deserved praise! 🌟 Way to go, Dakota! Your creativity and teamwork make PHS proud. 💛🖤 #OurTribeStory

Congratulations to our newest millionaire, Kourtney Quinnett! #pottsvillereads

Lots of Basketball going on this week. Go Apaches!

Thank goodness for Officer Garza, who saved the day last Tuesday night when he turned off the fire alarm! 🚨 The basketball game was briefly on hold until this PHS hero worked his magic and got everything back on track.

Mrs. Hare couldn’t help but “catch” Officer Garza being good at his job—keeping our campus safe and our events running smoothly. 💛🖤 Thank you, Officer Garza! #CaughtBeingGood #OurTribeStory

Congratulations to JC Jones for making it official today! We can't wait to watch you next year as a Wonderboy.

On Wednesday, our students participated in the UAMS “Find Your Future in Healthcare” virtual event. They heard from professionals in EMT, nursing, radiology, PT/OT, and pharmacy, and even took part in hands-on dissection and pharmacy activities. We’re proud of their curiosity and excitement for exploring healthcare careers! 💙🩺 #UAMS #FindYourFuture #CareerReadiness

And they’re off! 🚌🎶 Let’s cheer on the Marching Apaches as they head to Indianapolis to compete in the BOA National Championships! 🏆💛🖤

These talented musicians have worked tirelessly all season, and we couldn’t be prouder. They take the field tomorrow at 11:45, ready to represent Pottsville with passion, precision, and Apache pride! 👏

Good luck, Marching Apaches—have an unforgettable time and make some noise in Indy! 🎺🔥 #OurTribeStory

Big win last night for Boys’ Basketball! 🏀🔥 And there to capture all the action were Will Snow and Brady Morrison, our very own local sports experts. 🎥👏 Apaches take basketball seriously, folks—great games, great energy, and a great student section! 💛🖤 We’ll see y’all in Clinton next week for the tournament—let’s go, Apaches! 🙌 #OurTribeStory

Jillian Key is headed to U of O! Congratulations on your decision to play at the collegiate level. Go Apaches!

Mrs. Hare and Mrs. Simpson joined forces (and their classes!) for a fun Food Lab this week. 🥜🍞 These students worked together to make delicious PB&Js—and, even better, to make connections and new friendships along the way. 💛 Thank you, Mrs. Hare and Mrs. Simpson, for turning an ordinary Tuesday morning into something special! 🖤 #OurTribeStory

Congratulations to Pottsville Senior, Kynzengten Beaudry, on her committment to play tennis at U of O!

Mrs. Brownlee’s substitute teacher “caught” Jillian Hamm being good when she offered to help her classmates cut out their English project. ✏️📚 Her willingness to step up and support others made such a strong impression that the substitute even left a note praising Jillian’s kindness and leadership! 💛🖤 Way to go, Jillian—your helpful spirit makes our tribe stronger! 👏 #CaughtBeingGood #OurTribeStory

Lacee Potts packed Boo Bags for PHS faculty and staff, organizing the goodies over several sessions and spreading smiles all over campus! 🎃🍬Thank you, Lacee, for making the season a little bit sweeter and showing what Apache kindness looks like in action. 💛🖤 #CaughtBeingGood #OurTribeStory

Senior Nate Puckett is one of the kindest, most helpful students on the PHS campus! 💛 He recently noticed an abandoned lunch tray and picked it up—without anyone asking. 🍽️ It’s small acts of service like this that make a big difference in keeping our school clean, welcoming, and full of Apache pride. 🖤 Thank you, Nate, for being the kind of student who notices and then does! 👏 #CaughtBeingGood #OurTribeStory
