Thank you to our alumni - graduates from 2024 and 2023 - who took time to come together at the PHS Auditorium today during 2nd hour for a Q&A session with current juniors and seniors. The goal was for these recent graduates to discuss with our upper classmen what the transition to college and/or the workforce has been like, what struggles and successes they have had, and any advice they would suggest from a student stand point for things that can be implemented during high school to help in the transition.
