The same can be said of all my children. I was one of the lucky ones who took advantage of what a great school district PHS is and had to offer. We encouraged our kids to partake in as many activities that PHS offered as well. I try to be as active as I could in high school and love the fact that I am able to take advantage of many activities as an Alumni.”
