Isaac Estes was “caught” being good when he volunteered to take down the Homecoming balloon arches—giving up part of his lunch time to help out. 🎈👏 What a selfless gentleman and a great example of Apache pride in action! 💛 Small acts of service like this make our campus stronger and our tribe even better. Way to go, Isaac! #CaughtBeingGood #OurTribeStory

Mrs. Perez “caught” Case Harper being good when he volunteered to sweep up a classmate’s mess. 🧹💛 These small acts of kindness might seem simple, but they snowball into something powerful—a tribe that takes care of each other. 🖤Thank you, Case, for leading by example and showing what Apache pride looks like in action! 👏 #CaughtBeingGood #OurTribeStory

BIG shoutout to Christy Christiansen, Jennifer Vincent, and Becky Trudell for helping make the first point joint of the year a huge success! Thank you, ladies, for all you do. PHS has the BEST!!

Mrs. Ostendorf is the newest math teacher on the high school campus, and we’re thrilled to have her back in the tribe! 💛📘 She spends her day co-teaching alongside her math colleagues and leading her own classes in Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II.

Mrs. Mobbs, our ninth-grade math teacher, pours her energy into teaching Accelerated Geometry and Algebra I. 📐✨ She challenges her freshmen with rigorous, engaging instruction and somehow keeps them smiling through it all. It takes brains, heart, and a little strength (wink wink 💪) to inspire students to work hard—and Mrs. Mobbs does it all! 💛🖤 #OurTribeStory

Shout out to Coach Stabler and Coach Guerra for an awesome 💗 Pink Out 💗 celebration! The volleyball team 🏐 swept Ozark in three sets, and the proceeds were donated to Sherry Cossey and Braden Qualls 🎗️. What a winning combo of Apache spirit, teamwork, and heart! 💪 #OurTribeStory

Mrs. Sullivan truly does it all! 💛 She teaches Statistics, Quantitative Reasoning, and the new AP Statistics class—bringing data to life for her students every day. 📊✨ When she’s not in the classroom, she’s leading the Color Guard and Winter Guard, creating choreography and running rehearsals nearly year-round. 🎶💃 And let’s not forget her legendary spreadsheets and her behind-the-scenes support helping Sully “do all the things” (IYKYK 😉). PHS is blessed to have her! #OurTribeStory

Mr. Dean teaches Accelerated Algebra II, AP Precalculus, and AP Calculus—often guiding the same group of students for three years in a row! 📘✨ His AP scores are among the best in the River Valley, a testament to his dedication and talent as a teacher. In addition to his math magic, Mr. Dean sponsors both Hope Squad, CSU, and the Chess Club ♟️—three groups that reflect his heart for problem-solving and people. And while his dad jokes may sometimes fall flat, he’s still one of the most beloved teachers on the PHS campus! 💛🖤 #OurTribeStory

Mrs. Braeutigam, our incredible Math Department Head, teaches Algebra II and Quantitative Reasoning—and she’s written her own curriculum for both! 📘✨ Working closely with her team, she ensures that PHS math content is both relevant and challenging for every student. Her countless hours spent teaching, tutoring, guiding, and cheering on her students make our school—and our entire community—a better place to be. 💛🖤 We’re so grateful for her dedication and heart for education! #OurTribeStory
