Principal's Message
This year has flown by! It is hard to believe that we have only 13 school days left before summer break. While students might be looking towards the summer, our team at PPHS is planning for the 24-25 School Year and your voice is important to these plans. Parents/guardians, please take a few moments to take this brief survey as we look to continue making improvements and strengthening the bond between the school and our community.
On behalf of the PPHS faculty and staff, I would like to wish you and your families a happy, healthy, and relaxing summer break.
With Tiger Pride!
Mr. Andrew Garcia
