Our Homecoming Dance will take place on Friday, September 27th from 9:30 p.m. until 11:30 p.m. Presale tickets will be $15.00 from 9/16 through 9/20. Beginning September 23rd, the price will increase to $20.00, so don't hesitate to purchase yours sooner rather than later!
Only small clutches no bigger than 8 inches by 5 inches, or clear bags, will be allowed into the dance. Both are subject to search upon entry. If you are a PV student or athlete who still has your regular backpack from the day, it needs your ID attached to the outside (via lanyard or cord), and it will be stored in the Weight Room. Backpacks, large purses, or any other type of bag will NOT be allowed inside the dance.
If you wish to bring a guest who does not attend PV, your guest must attend high school and cannot be older than 18. Guest forms are required for any high school student who is not a Palo Verde Student. Guest Forms can be picked up in the Athletic Office starting on the 16th. You MUST submit the Guest Form to the Athletic Office no later than September 24th at 3:05 p.m.

Our very own Titan Jubileers (along with our amazing Choir Teacher, Mrs. Peterson) went to Arizona State University (ASU) for a festival put on by the ASU School of Music. It was a fun morning full of activities for the students, as well as opportunities to learn songs together. PV was one of only a few schools from Tucson. It was a great day of music making and bonding together through music. Great job, Titan Vocalists! We are proud of you!
Titan Families,
Palo Verde High School has officially formed a Parent / Teacher / Student Association (PTSA). Our officers are Wanda White (President), Stephen Brown (Vice President), Zechariah Markes (Treasurer), and Beth Brungardt (Secretary). The goal of our PTSA is to provide our students, their families, as well as our staff and faculty with a voice to help make our students' school and educational experience as positive as possible. We are looking to help build a sense of community among parents, teachers, and students through social events, family activities, and collaborative projects.
The Palo Verde High School PTSA wants to invite you and your student to become a members. We need both your ideas and input. Your input is not only important but valued. I am attaching a QR for becoming a member of the PTSA. Just scan the QR code with your phone and follow the easy steps. Dues are just $5.50 per person, annually, till the end of this Friday, 09/13/24. After this Friday, dues will go up to $10. Your support and help is greatly appreciated.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact Mr. Stephen Brown (Palo Verde Teacher / Parent / PTSA Vice President) at stephen.brown@tusd1.org.

A Donors Choose project for the Ecology Club was funded in late August, and we received the items in early September. Now, the club has new gardening gloves and pruning shears, rakes, potting soil, and even a new garden bed that we will assemble. Our compost bin is full of green and brown material and ready to start breaking down into compost. We are learning how often it needs to be watered and tossed to maximize this process. Planting will begin right after Fall Break in October!

At the recommendation of TUSD's School Safety Department, we are now implementing a Clear Bag (or clutch 8 inch by 5 inch) Policy for all home football games.
Only small clutches no bigger than 8 inches by 5 inches, or clear bags, will be allowed into the home games. Both are subject to search upon entry. If you are a PV student or athlete who still has your regular backpack from the day, it must have your school ID attached to the outside (via lanyard or cord), and it will be stored in the Weight Room. Backpacks, large purses, or any other type of bag will NOT be allowed inside by anyone.
The primary objective of any clear bag policy is to enhance safety and security. Clear bags, and/or small clutches, provide transparency and enable security personnel to easily inspect their contents, thus reducing the likelihood of prohibited items being brought inside.
In addition, no outside food or beverages will be allowed.
PVHS Cheer is hitting the ground running this year, and we have a total of 16 athletes! Please support and share our Donors Choose page to help get items needed for our season. Every little bit counts!
