Principal's Message

I am proud to state that our attendance average for the month of October at PPHS stands at 97 percent! Thank you to our parents/guardians for working with us to bring our numbers so high. This is a testament to your hard work and partnership as we continue to set high goals at PPHS.


Additionally, we are kicking off the month of November with a "You Got Caught...Doing Something Good!" campaign. Faculty and staff will be on the lookout for students who emulate our R.O.A.R. school theme. Everyday, many of our students do the right thing even when no one is watching. We are thankful to have such a caring and respectful student body and, in this month where we give thanks, we would like to honor, thank, and recognize these students. Students who are "caught" doing something good will be awarded with a ticket that serves as an entry to our raffle. At the end of the month, we will pick one lucky winner who will be awarded with a $75 shopping spree at our Palisades Park School Spirit store.


With Tiger Pride!


Mr. Andrew Garcia

Spirit Week and Pep Rally

PPHS celebrated our first Spirit Week and Pep Rally for the 23-24 SY in October. We kicked off the event by welcoming back former PPHS students who performed a live 3 song set for our students and faculty. We then celebrated our Fall sports athletes, followed by the inflatable animal basketball shootout, and an ultimate 4-way tug of war! The action packed event ended with a royal touch as our Homecoming Royalty was announced!

Gimhae Foreign Language High School (GIMFL) visited us from South Korea today. 120 students and their teachers joined us for a tour of PPHS, a student-led presentation, games and activities, student-created informational videos from both schools, special performances from each of our dance teams, and a Q & A session. Thank you, GIMFL, for a memorable cultural exchange!

Chris Singleton

Chris Singleton was back at PPHS to spread his powerful message of love over hate. He shared his personal story, one of unimaginable pain, and how he was able to overcome and harness it to spread a positive message. Key Takeaway: Everyone has 10% they can't control and 90% they can. Don't fault anyone for the 10% they didn't choose/can't control and do something good with your 90% which you can control!

Boys Varsity Soccer

Congrats to our Varsity Boys Soccer team and their coaches for reaching the 2nd round of the State playoffs. While they did not win it all, they battled through a tough season and made it into the 2nd round which only a few Pal Park teams have been able to do. Great job!
