On October 13, the PHS students and staff are going to take part in the second Service Day.

This is a school wide event where the students get the opportunity to leave school and spend the day giving back to the community. They do this through service projects of their choice.

Last year, Media Teacher Heather Nichols and former Principal Todd Hitchcock went to a conference and listened to a speaker who did the same thing at their school. The two thought it was a great idea, so they decided to bring the idea to PHS. Since it was such a big success, they pitched the idea again for another year.

“I am so excited about Service Day. I was so proud of everything we accomplished last year. The community gives so much to our school, I am so happy we have a chance to give back,” said Nichols.
