Class of 2029, please join us on Thursday July 27 at 6 p.m. for 7th grade Orientation Night. Students and parents will have the opportunity to hear from their principal, assistant principal, athletic director, and counselors at this time. This will be an informative session and any questions you have regarding your student’s transition to the junior high can be answered at this time. We will have an open house/meet the teacher night closer to the first day of school for students to tour the building and their individual classrooms. Schedules will be available during orientation: Please plan to attend and pick up your student’s schedule. Due to state requirements, there has been a change to how students will fulfill some of their elective classes in 7th grade. All 7th grade students will be on a rotation schedule every 9 weeks during their 4th period class. This will allow students to have a more well rounded experience and exposure to the electives offered at PHS. We believe that this will be a beneficial experience for students and it will better prepare them to make informed choices of their future pathway (9th grade) as well as being exposed to a variety of experiences before making a final decision of what electives they wish to take in high school. Students will all receive instruction in the core classes of: English, Math, Science and Social Studies. We are looking forward to meeting all of our new 7th grade students & their families! If you have questions, or are unable to attend, but would like additional information, please contact the guidance office at - 812-723-3905.
