Join in the fun! Gates open at 5:30 and games start at 6:00!
🇺🇸 One of our favorite new traditions at PHS is crowning a Homecoming King at the Powder Puff 🏈 game (Friday, September 11 at 6:00)! This After Prom fundraiser involves students “voting” for their favorite nominee with a little loose change! Macon placed his vote for Brayden, but the other three candidates have some pretty full jars of cash as well. Good luck to Jonathan, Brayden, Jaxson, and Talen! We can’t wait to see who wins the crown!👑
🎉 Jesslyn Martin: PHS September Student of the Month! 🎉
To know Jesslyn is to love her! Mrs. Deramus nominated this special young lady in recognition of her outstanding work ethic, intelligence, team mentality, and genuine friendliness. Jesslyn is the kind of student who makes PHS a better place simply by being part of it—and she’s a wonderful representative of our Tribe!
Congratulations, Jesslyn! We’re so proud to celebrate YOU! 🖤💛

🧠✨ AP Psychology has been busy! ✨🧠
Ms. Dougan's AP Psych students have been putting their critical thinking skills to work with some fun (and thought-provoking!) activities!
⚖️ Ethics Knockout: Students went head-to-head in a tournament-style competition, voting on which famous psychological experiments they believed were the most unethical. It sparked some great conversations about research ethics and the importance of protecting participants!
🍫 M&M Statistics Lab: Who knew M&Ms could help us prepare for the AP Exam?! 📊 Students used everyone’s favorite colorful candy to practice mean, median, mode, and other important statistical skills they’ll need to know for test day. The best part is they got to eat their M&Ms once the lab was finished!
From debating ethics to analyzing candy… AP Psychology is learning by doing! 🧠🍫📚🎉
Cooler temps are on the way, but Apaches are heating up. Come get loud!
CASE Ag Engineering Students are trying to save the universe from a toxic bean spill. Groups of students have to create a simple machine from limited supplies and use teamwork to transfer the toxic beans into a clean container. We should all feel safe with these students.
🦠🔬 Mrs. Kendrick’s first-period Biology class took advantage of a cool(ish) morning as they continued their exploration of bacteria!
Students worked in “expert teams,” digging into new information, collaborating with classmates, and becoming the go-to experts on their assigned topics.
At one point, a student summed up the experience perfectly: “We do so much THINKING in this class!” 😂🧠
YES! That’s exactly what we like to hear, Apaches! Learning should require us to question, connect, discuss, problem-solve, and occasionally make our brains hurt just a little bit.
Keep thinking, scientists! Mrs. Kendrick has big plans for those brains. 🖤💛

Mrs. Simpson "caught" Mae being good, saying this: "Mae Gilbreath went above and beyond by voluntarily partnering with a struggling classmate the very first week of school. Her kindness, support, and willingness to help set her apart, rightly earning her the Caught Being Good button." Congratulations, Mae!
PHS Veterinary Science students have been learning the importance of biosecurity in order to protect themselves, the public, and the animals for which they care. We are germ free, donned, and ready for surgery.
🎭🎮📚 There’s a place for every Apache at PHS!
Club Fair gave our students a chance to explore the many ways to get involved on campus—from History and Drama to Beta, eSports, and plenty of options in between. Students met club members, learned about activities, and hopefully discovered a group that feels just right!
And if you didn’t join a club during the fair, it’s definitely not too late. 👀 Check out the club flyers posted around campus, ask questions, try something new, and GET INVOLVED!
High school is more fun when you find your people. Find your place. Find your own tribe. 🖤💛

Juniors, it’s time to order your senior ring!
Jostens will be back on campus this week to help the Class of 2028 mark one of the first big milestones on the road to senior year! Order in person or online, and stop by the PHS office for details.
And juniors—DON’T BLINK! 👀 One minute you’re ordering a senior ring, and the next we’re talking senior pictures, graduation gowns, and all those “last firsts.”
Enjoy every minute! Class of 2028, your time is coming, and we can’t wait to celebrate all the milestones along the way! 🎓🖤💛

The boys' golf team--and their coaches--helped Nurse Becky's father move his stalled car out of the intersection last week--in the pouring down rain! Nurse Becky presented these young men with their "Caught Being Good" buttons and sang their praises for being great Apaches. Thanks, gentlemen!
💌 A little kindness goes a long way!
Mrs. Riley’s students spent time writing kind notes to share with some of their favorite people as they celebrated “Love Like Brooklynn,” a special project honoring Mrs. Riley’s niece. 💕 Students had the opportunity to pause, think about the people who matter to them, and put a little extra goodness into the world.
These meaningful “family projects” are part of what makes PHS such a special place. Our teachers don’t just teach lessons—they build relationships, share their hearts, and help our students become thoughtful, caring people.
Thank you, Mrs. Riley, for reminding us that kindness always matters. 🖤💛

Mrs. Talley and Mrs. Millsaps "caught" Carson being good when he offered to clean up a classmate's lab! Thanks, Carson!

Mrs. Riley "caught" Carson being good when he held open the door for all his classmates after a scheduled fire drill! Thanks, Carson!
🏀📚 Last year, as a sophomore at PHS, Brooklynne Fields signed up for Coach Bartlett’s AP Government class...and then decided she might as well earn a 5 on the AP exam! 🌟
This busy young lady spends countless hours on the basketball court, but she always makes time to tackle challenging coursework and give her best in the classroom, too.
And junior year certainly isn’t slowing her down! Brooklynne is balancing a couple of AP courses, a couple of concurrent-credit classes, and a hectic basketball schedule. Because why make life easy when you can make it interesting? 😂
Brooklynne, we’re proud of the discipline, determination, and work ethic you bring to everything you do. Whether you’re studying for an exam or competing on the court, you represent PHS well!
Congratulations on that AP 5—we have a feeling it won’t be your last! 🖤💛

🌟📚 Senior David Arizmendi wrapped up his junior year in impressive fashion, earning a 5—the highest possible score—on his AP Government exam!
But why stop there? 😏 This year, David is tackling THREE more AP courses along with a couple of concurrent-credit classes because, apparently, a regular senior schedule just wasn’t quite challenging enough.
Beyond the impressive transcript and test scores, David is simply a great kid. He’s hardworking, responsible, kind, and willing to put in the effort required to reach some pretty big goals. 🖤💛
Smart, driven, and an all-around outstanding Apache—David is the total package!
Congratulations, David! We’re proud of what you’ve already accomplished and can’t wait to see what you add to that record during your senior year. 🎓👏

🎨🌟 Stacia Guyse is one of those rare students who decided sophomore year was the perfect time to earn her first AP 5!
Under the guidance of the incredibly talented Mrs. Langston, Stacia spent the year developing a sophisticated portfolio that included multiple self-portraits and demonstrated her creativity, technical skill, and growth as an artist. Her hard work earned her a 5—the highest possible AP score—while she was only a sophomore! 🖤💛
And Stacia is just getting started. As a junior, she’s taking on FOUR more AP courses, continuing to challenge herself and build an already impressive academic record.
Congratulations, Stacia! We are so proud of your talent, determination, and willingness to tackle big challenges. Stay tuned, Apache Nation—we have a feeling there are more standout AP scores in this young artist’s future! 🎨📚✨
