Titan Torch

During Wednesday's Top Tier Recognition we celebrated 131 students for having cumulative weighted GPA's of 3.9 and above! Thursday night at the ELAC Meeting we recognized 19 students who are on the path to reclassification. Titans attended the annual Rio Hondo Women's Conference on Friday where students across the Whittier area attended breakout sessions and networked. The inagural beach volleyball season is underway and Titans are off to a great start. The PHS Drill Team began competition season yesterday- Way to go Titans!

We are looking to celebrate and recognize Pioneer Alumni and their stories. Our plan is to feature on our instagram, website and newsletter. Alumni, please fill out the PHS Once a Titan, Always a Titan form and you may be featured soon!

The Math Academy is open to all students, and current Whittier Union High School District students can sign up through their school counselor. Don't miss this opportunity to give your child a math advantage!

See the attached flyers for more information.
