Pearland High School

Oiler Families,

I am thrilled to reach out to you through my first newsletter as the new principal at Pearland High School. Joining this welcoming community, known for its tradition of excellence, is truly a privilege. I am committed to building upon the established culture of Pride, Honor, and Success, and I am dedicated to ensuring that each student reaches their maximum potential. As we embark on this journey together, I am eager to get to know all of you and your students personally.

Below, you will find detailed information about back-to-school registration, Market Day, senior events, transportation options, and other important updates for the upcoming school year.

Adrian Washburn

Principal, Pearland High School

Thank you to all who have completed the online Registration process. You should have received emails regarding the registration process. If for some reason you did not receive those emails or you are still working through the process, you can find additional information here. Registration needs to be completed prior to the first day of school.

If you need assistance, Pearland ISD will be hosting an Enrollment Support Night from 4pm-8pm, on Thursday, July 25th. Location: Educational Support Center, 1928 North Main, Pearland, Texas 77581. Additionally, during Market Day, we will have staff on hand at Pearland High School to assist with this process

Market Day is an event for 10th to 12th grade students and their families. Here, you can receive support with registration, clear any outstanding fines and fees, and pick up parking hang tags. Additionally, this is the perfect opportunity to purchase Oiler gear and class shirts for the upcoming school year. Pre-ordered Swag Bags and t-shirts will also be available for collection. Many of our clubs and organizations will be present, offering a great opportunity to explore and connect with various groups. Unfortunately, yearbooks will not be distributed as in previous year's as they have not been received yet.

Oiler Training Camp is our freshman orientation where students will immerse themselves in what it means to be an Oiler at Pearland High School. The orientation includes a campus tour, an overview of our dress code, and other essential information. Afterward, students will enjoy ice cream. Parents who attend can join me for a meeting where we will discuss our expectations and the vision for developing successful Oilers over the next four years.

Our counseling team is currently finalizing student schedules for the upcoming school year. We understand how important it is for students to review their schedules and prepare accordingly. Therefore, we are pleased to announce that schedules will be made available for student review starting Friday evening, August 9, 2024. Students can access their schedules through Skyward. We encourage students and parents to log in to Skyward to view these schedules as they plan for the school year ahead.

We are excited to announce that starting tomorrow, July 19th, students can purchase parking hangtags for the 2024-2025 school year. Please complete the form in the campus Web Store which can be accessed through this link. The form allows students to select their activity, which will appear on the receipt emailed after payment. This information helps our office staff distribute the appropriate hangtags. Note that parking spaces for each activity group are limited.

Parking passes are $30 for the full academic year or $15 for the second semester only. The second semester form will be available in January.

To pick up your parking hangtag, enter through the Main Entrance. Staff members will assist you. Bring your receipt, driver’s license, and vehicle insurance card. Payment must be made through the Web Store.

Hangtag pickup dates are listed below. If you cannot pick up your pass on the designated date, you may come on Market Day, Wednesday, July 24th, from 8 AM to 3 PM. After school starts, office staff can assist students before and after school.

Please Note: Students leaving campus daily during school hours must park in the Bullard Lot this year.

Students must be registered for bus service through Skyward and scheduled for service BEFORE receiving transportation to or from school. As soon as students are scheduled to begin service the parent/guardian will receive notification from the Transportation Department with a date for services to begin.

Bus route information can be found using the Infofinder application.

As we kick off the new school year, please be aware that traffic around the school is typically much heavier during the first few days. This increase can significantly delay travel times. To ensure that both car riders and student drivers arrive safely and on time, we strongly encourage leaving home a bit earlier than you might normally plan. This extra time will help accommodate the slower traffic.

Our counselors are working diligently on student course schedules. All students will be able to view their course schedule via Skyward on Monday, August 14th. Schedules will only be available to students and parents who have completed the Online Registration Process.
