See you on Wednesday morning, friends!
Shout out to Mrs. Vaught and Mr. Dewey, the best ag teachers in the state! With a little help from their FFA friends, these two prepared a delicious breakfast for PHS faculty and staff this morning. Nothing says “welcome back” quite like pancakes, sausage, and—most importantly—a little bacon! Thanks for feeding the Tribe and starting our week off right! 🥓💛🖤
Attention PSD Military Families!
If you are an active-duty or veteran parent or guardian, please complete this brief survey to help us understand how our school can best support your family.
📊🎉 Congratulations to Mrs. Sullivan and her AP Statistics students on an outstanding first year!
Teaching AP Statistics at PHS for the very first time, Mrs. Sullivan guided her students through one of the most practical and applicable math courses offered. Out of the seven students who took the AP Exam, five earned a qualifying score of 3 or higher—an impressive 71.4% pass rate! 🖤💛
Statistics is much more than numbers on a page. Students learn how to collect, interpret, and analyze data, think critically, and make informed decisions using evidence—skills that are valuable in nearly every college major and career field. Through Mrs. Sullivan's instruction, these students gained knowledge that will benefit them far beyond high school.
The exciting news doesn't stop there! This year, Mrs. Sullivan is partnering with UACCM to offer Quantitative Literacy on the PHS campus. This concurrent-credit course allows students to earn three hours of college credit while receiving the support and guidance of one of our outstanding teachers.
Congratulations to Mrs. Sullivan and her students for an exceptional first year in AP Statistics! Thank you for helping prepare our Apaches for success in college, careers, and beyond. Great work, Tribe! 📈✨

📚✨ Mrs. Tanner wears many hats at Pottsville High School…and somehow manages to excel in every one of them!
As the head of the English Department, Mrs. Tanner teaches AP Literature while also inspiring one section of tenth-grade English students. This year, her AP Literature students achieved outstanding results, with 11 of 16 students (68.8%) earning a qualifying score of 3 or higher on the AP Exam. What an incredible accomplishment! 🎉
The success didn’t stop there. Mrs. Tanner’s sophomore English students also posted remarkable ATLAS results this spring, with 100% of her students earning a Level 3 or Level 4. That means every single student demonstrated proficiency at or above grade level—a testament to their hard work and Mrs. Tanner’s exceptional instruction.
And yes…this former Disney princess (literally!) and proud Pottsville graduate continues to bring a little magic to our campus every day. 👑✨
Congratulations to Mrs. Tanner and her incredible students! Thank you for making PHS a place where high expectations, hard work, and a love of learning continue to thrive. 🖤💛

📖 Yay, Mr. Dodson!
Here's another AP success story worth celebrating! This year, 100% of Mr. Dodson's AP United States History students earned a qualifying score on the AP Exam. What an incredible accomplishment! 🎉
APUSH is one of the most demanding courses a student can take, covering the story of our nation from its earliest beginnings to the present day. Success requires extensive reading, analytical writing, critical thinking, and the ability to connect historical events across centuries. It's challenging work—but Mr. Dodson and his students were more than up for the task.
Congratulations to Mr. Dodson and his APUSH students on an exceptional year! Thank you for proving that hard work, determination, and a passion for learning continue to thrive at Pottsville High School. 🖤💛

📚✍️ Let's hear it for Mrs. Brownlee and her AP Lang gang!
AP English Language and Composition isn't for the faint of heart. Throughout the year, 47 PHS students immersed themselves in challenging nonfiction texts while learning to write rhetorical analyses, synthesis essays, and well-crafted arguments—skills that prepare them for success far beyond high school. Their hard work paid off! 🎉 Twenty-four students earned a qualifying score of 3 or higher on the AP Exam, an impressive 52% pass rate. Those scores mean college credit for Comp I—and for several students, even Comp II!
Congratulations to Mrs. Brownlee and her students for embracing a rigorous course, persevering through the challenges, and achieving such meaningful success. 🖤💛
And the good news doesn't stop there! Beginning this school year, Mrs. Brownlee has partnered with UACCM to offer Comp I and Comp II on the PHS campus. As part of the first cohort in this exciting pilot program, she'll provide students with another outstanding opportunity to earn college credit while still in high school.
Teachers like Mrs. Brownlee don't just teach content—they open doors, create opportunities, and help students discover what they're capable of achieving. Thank you for making Pottsville High School such a special place to learn!

🧪⚛️ Mrs. Storm believes that a challenge is simply an opportunity to learn—and her students proved it this year!
Teaching not one, but two of the most rigorous AP science courses, Mrs. Storm guided students through the complex worlds of AP Physics and AP Chemistry with patience, expertise, and high expectations. Because...why not? 😊
This year, 2 of her 4 AP Physics students earned qualifying scores on the AP Exam, while 4 of her 6 AP Chemistry students (66.7%) earned a qualifying score of 3 or higher. Even more impressive, one AP Chemistry student earned a 5, the highest score possible on one of the most challenging exams offered by the College Board! 🌟Mrs. Storm and her students embraced the challenge, and their hard work paid off.
And there's more exciting news! This year, Mrs. Storm will add Biology to her teaching schedule, bringing her knowledge, enthusiasm, and flexibility to yet another group of PHS students.
Thank you, Mrs. Storm, for always putting students first and for being willing to step in wherever you're needed. Teachers like you make Pottsville High School a place where students are challenged, supported, and inspired every single day. 🖤💛
