PHS 24-25 Cell Phone Policy
Parents/Guardians: Please review the information with your student regarding the expectations surrounding cell phone use at PHS for the 2024-2025 school year:
The 2024-2025 PHS Cell Phone Policy is as follows:
Students may have “silenced” cell phones in their possession during the school day. Students who are in possession of cell phones must adhere to the Student Code of Conduct, Student Handbook, Acceptable Use Policy, and all Board Policies, particularly Internet Acceptable Use. Each user is responsible for his/her own cell phone and should use it responsibly and appropriately. Person High School takes no responsibility for stolen, lost, or damaged cell phones, including lost or corrupted data on those devices.
During instructional time, students may not use their cell phones and must have them out of sight at all times. This includes students who are in the hallways or in the restrooms during instructional time.
During non-instructional time (before and after school, lunch and between classes), students can access their cell phones. However, students may not use their cell phones to make phone calls during this time.

It is so great to be back for a third year as your college adviser. It's now your turn to start thinking about college, the workforce or enlisting after graduation. I am here to provide guidance on your path this year as you discover your next steps.
Please do not hesitate to reach out via email or our college & career advising Instagram page @phs_collegeadvising. I am currently planning our schedule for college and career events, including college visits, guest speakers, and plenty of planning sessions. If you would like to assist in the planning or have suggestions, please let me know. I want this to be a collaborative year, focusing on the events you specifically want.
For those interested in attending a public NC system school, please be aware that the testing requirements have changed from the COVID testing guidelines. For students entering in the Fall 2025 or Spring 2026 semesters:
