With the ACT right around the corner on March 10, our PHS juniors had the chance to sharpen their skills during a three-hour ACT Bootcamp organized by Career Coach Mrs. Beavers. Experts from Huntington Learning Center led the session, sharing helpful testing strategies, key reminders (like math formulas and grammar rules), and practical time-management tips to help students feel confident and prepared. It was quite the marathon of instruction—and the cute t-shirts were an added bonus! 👕📚 Thank you, Mrs. Beavers, for organizing such a great opportunity for our students. Good luck next Tuesday, Apaches—we’re cheering you on! 💪📝

In a fun twist to the “Caught Being Good” culture at PHS, Mrs. Millsaps surprised Ms. Dougan with her very own button! When a colleague shows up with gluten-free cookies at just the right moment, a little recognition is the least one can do. Thank you for being such a thoughtful friend and colleague, Ms. Dougan—and for keeping that Oreo stash stocked! 🍪👏 #OurTribeStory
Students in class today were preparing to draft revolutionary astronomers for a research project that will eventually compete in a March Madness-style bracket to determine who was the most influential. 🔭✨
To determine the draft order, students were given a piece of paper and 60 seconds to build a paper airplane. The distance their airplanes flew determined their draft picks! ✈️
A little creativity, a little competition, and a lot of learning—just another day in Apache Country. 📚🖤💛 #OurTribeStory
