Pottsville High School

PHS Hope Squad hosted Team Up Tuesday during Twinsies Day of Homecoming Week! 👯‍♀️✨ Students signed up for a variety of RTI sessions—chess, games, baggo, and more—and spent third period enjoying team-building activities and sunshine. ☀️💛

This month’s Hope Squad theme focused on Connection, and members helped advisors lead activities and engage with classmates. It was the perfect reminder that working and playing together builds a stronger tribe! 🖤👏 #OurTribeStory

While we love seeing the polished performances of our award-winning band, here’s a little peek behind the scenes at how the magic happens. 🎶✨ During fourth period, out on the asphalt, Mr. Sullivan leads these dedicated musicians line by line through the rubric—fine-tuning every note, rhythm, and step. 🥁🎺 Their attention to detail and commitment to excellence are what make those halftime moments so unforgettable. These students (and their incredible directors!) give so much of their time and energy to make the music happen—and we couldn’t be prouder! 💛🖤 #OurTribeStory

🎶🔥 Huge congratulations to the PHS Marching Apaches! They brought home 1st Place, Outstanding Band, Outstanding Percussion, and were the only band in their class to earn a 1 rating at the Devil Dog Invitational! 🏆💛🖤 Your hard work, talent, and dedication continue to make us proud. Way to represent PHS with excellence on and off the field! 👏 #OurTribeStory

📸🎤 Campaign Speeches + Spirit Week Fun! 🎉

This week, Mrs. Brownlee's AP Language students have been recording their campaign speeches as part of a project on how audience shapes a speaker’s choices. Each group created their own political party, wrote a platform, and hit the “campaign trail” right here in class.

And since it’s also Homecoming Spirit Week, you might notice some unique outfits in the videos — today’s theme was Redneck Day! Our students had a blast showing their school spirit while also stepping into the role of politicians, speechwriters, and campaigners. 🗳️✨

Learning + laughter = the best kind of classroom! ❤️💛🖤

Pottsville's annual Report to Patrons will be held at 6:00 PM in the high school library on October 16, 2025. The regular Board Meeting will immediately follow.

Join PHS in celebrating our Department of the Month—the amazing Math Team! 📐✨ These knowledgeable, kind, and motivating teachers work every day to help students see the importance of math in their lives. Shout out to Mrs. Ostendorf, Mrs. Sullivan, Mrs. Perez, Mr. Dean, Mrs. Braeutigam, and Mrs. Mobbs—you truly are the best in all the land, and we are so grateful for you! 💛🖤 #OurTribeStory
