NEWS FROM THE PANTHER DEN

As the sun begins to set on another school year at PTHS, the senior gathered together for a final time to watch the sun go down this past Monday. A tradition that started after the pandemic, the senior sunset is held usually on last full Monday of the school year. It is a night in which the seniors spend time together playing games, signing yearbooks, listening to music, and enjoying pizza and ice cream. It has happened each year that just about near the end of the night, the seniors really begin to recognize that their high school career is coming to an end. The Class of 2024 has accomplished a lot inside and outside of the classroom. They have left a lasting impact on PTHS for years to come and we are fortunate to have had the opportunity to see them represent the Blue and Gold with pride.

As we finish up final exams next week and prepare for the 2024-2025 school year, there is much to reflect up and be grateful for. We are grateful for Mrs. Crefeld (World Language), Mr. Eveland (Art) and Mr. Hopper (Custodial staff) who are retiring this year. The final sunsets of their careers are well deserved as they have spent over 65 combined years working in the Pequannock School District. We thank them for all they have done for the students and staff of the district during their time as Golden Panthers.

The end of a school year, much like a sunset, comes to a close very quickly. Despite the craziness that the end of the school year may bring, those sunsets are a reminder that endings can often be beautiful. It is important to stop for even just a second and watch it happen. Each one becomes a memory and each memory plays a vital role in the lives of those that are involved in them. #nocknation

It was a great night on Monday as the seniors celebrated at their senior sunset on the night before their final full day of school at PTHS. It was wonderful seeing them hang out together, sharing memories and enjoying the beautiful night! We are looking forward to their graduation next Wednesday!
