 One of our orchestra students, Erin Higgins (12th grade), earned a seat in the North Carolina Honors Orchestra. The Honors Orchestra is the top level orchestra for the entire state. To earn a seat in this orchestra, the students must first be accepted in their local orchestra, then they must be accepted into the Eastern NC Regional orchestra and, if their talents are exceptional, they can earn a seat in the NC Honors Orchestra. The NC Honors Orchestra rehearses in mid-November to perform at the North Carolina Music Educator’s Conference in Winston-Salem.It is an honor to be accepted into the highest level orchestra that North Carolina has to offer.
We are proud of Erin Higgins!

Students in the PFHS Academy of Emergency Medical Science have been working on a community service project this semester called the “Kindness Rocks Project”. This project is about spreading motivational messages, compassion, and hope by displaying painted rocks in random areas of a community. If you check out the garden in front of the school, you will see some of the work our AOEMS students did! Thanks so much, Mr. Vines, for designing the placement of our messages! .........................................................................................................................................Published by Barbara Ratledge on June 7, 2018 |
