PHS would like to say thank Mrs Melinda Weaver and Alabama Power for their generosity in providing grant opportunities for our programs and students. Mr. Chris Farris and Mr. Ren Garrison are the proud recipients of Power To Play grants for our band and theater programs.

PHS earned status as a Title 1 school going into this school year. As a part of this federal program we are required to survey Parents/Guardians of students enrolled at PHS. If you are a parent/guardian please take a few moments to participate in this anonymous survey about our school. https://eprovesurveys.advanc-ed.org/surveys/#/action/231375/9151

September has officially been designated as School Attendance Awareness Month
2023. During this special event in our state and nation, real emphasis is being placed
on building greater student engagement, public awareness, and family support for
school attendance efforts.

Let's "Rock out the Wildcats" on Friday, Sept. 1st. Students are encouraged to dress in their best "Rock" attire. Students will be allowed wear hats for $1. Proceeds will go to support PHS Cheer.

Come out and support the She Bears. Students get in free. Wear white and help us "whiteout" the Tigers.

A Message from Superintendent Ann West:
Due to the excessive heat forecast for the next few days, please help your child avoid dehydration by having them drink plenty of water.

Come out and support the She Bears today as they begin the 2023 season.

Great news for the coming school year!!! Marion County Schools will participate in the Community Eligibility Program. The CEP program is a PILOT program for the 23-24 school year that allows all enrolled students to eat breakfast and lunch at no cost! CEP is based on the overall economic status of our regional area. NO free or reduced applications will be needed from parents this school year. No action is required by parents for students to eat free. Please note the first complete meal is free, however extra plates or items must be purchased. All visiting children, adults, and employees will be required to pay for meals. www.paypams.com is still available for anyone that wishes to add money to his or her child(ren)'s accounts. This institution is an equal opportunity provider.

Here are a few tips to get you back into a school routine!
