Around Campus
Thank you World Language Department for a wonderful Dia de los Muertos celebration: Along with PHS students, we had students from Los Nietos who are taking Intro to Spanish Lanugage & Culture on campus during lunch on Tuesday enjoying the Altar, pan de muerto, face painting, and the grupo- thank you Club Literario. It was great watching so many students participate in the Halloween Spirit Week & Costume Contest on Thursday at lunch.
On Wednesday we recognized 11 students at the student of the month celebration who demonstrated their Titan P.R.I.D.E- Keep up the great work Titans! On Wednesday we hosted a Career Summit where 40 Sophomores and Juniors attended sessions and learned about opportunities, programs and careers after graduation- thank you to Mrs. Sedillo (College & Career Specialist), Elsa Cabral (ROP College & Career Advisor), Mrs. Morales (Southern California Credit Union) and Sara & Grace (Rio Hondo College) for your expertise and support of students success!
