PFHS Students, please remember to vote for Coming Home Spirit Days. Dr. McDonald sent a google form to ALL students last week on Wednesday, January 8. Please have them search for it in their email and vote. As of yesterday we had less than 300 responses.
There will only be 3 spirit days (Tuesday, January 28, Wednesday, January 29 and Thursday, January 30) which is why they are only voting for ONE.
📢 Out of an abundance of caution and with the safety of students, employees and families in mind, Cumberland County Schools will transition to remote learning for Friday, January 10. Stay safe and connected!

Elementary and middle schools will implement the policy at the start of the 2025-26 school year. The policy sets clear limits on excused absences and highlights the importance of consistent attendance to support student success.

The holiday season is here! A time for giving and sharing cheer and here, at PFHS, FBLA is hosting a toy drive for Howard Hall Elementary. We want to collect as many toys as possible! This may be the only toy a child receives during the holiday season. We are asking that the toy be no more than $20.00 and that the toy be appropriate for an elementary student (no harmful materials used in the making of toys). Toys must also be new or wrapped in wrapping paper and in good condition.
You can drop the toy(s) off at Mr. Owens's room 258 or in Mrs. Outlaw's room G-4. We are collecting toys until December 13, 2024. Thank you all for your support!
