Palo Verde High Magnet School

We held our Student of the 3rd Quarter Celebration, and we are so proud of all the nominees! Way to be 212 and Go The Extra Degree! Here are a few of the nominees.

Our Titan Theatre debuted its latest musical “Damn Yankees.” The 1955 musical tells the story of a middle-aged man who sells his soul to the devil to become a baseball player to help his beloved Washington Senators beat the Yankees in the World Series. Their performance hit it out of the park!
