Students from PHS were honored at the Governor’s Scholastic Honors Day event, which due to the health concerns surrounding the COVID-19 virus has been developed into a virtual commemorative presentation. The following is a message from the Governor and First Lady and a PowerPoint presentation created to showcase the student photos that were submitted to the governor's office. For students who did not submit a photo, names and schools are found at the end of the presentation. In addition, all students will receive a letter from the Governor’s office as well as a certificate signed by the Governor. PHS students can be found about 16 minutes into the video. https://youtu.be/4PcYCp1CED0
