For all of us the COVID-19 pandemic is rapidly changing our world.  The only thing we are certain of is uncertainty. We may not have a connection to our school right now, but our yearbook still has many blank pages to be filled. Now more than ever, your yearbook staff needs your help!

We are asking you to upload pictures to the Jostens app, ReplayIt.  Download it, create an account, find our school.  To upload, click on Photo Stream, then Take Photo (you can just pull a photo from your images). Please only school appropriate images and avoid heavily filtered images.  Each photo will be screened and approved and not every picture submitted will be used.

For every picture approved, you will be entered into a drawing for a free yearbook for 2020 or 2021.  *Must be a PHS student to qualify and name must be attached to submitted photo (done automatically based on your settings).

In case you come up with blank lines, here is what needs to be entered.

ATTENTION: Students who were planning to take the April 4th ACT test. Please read below.

Urgent message from ACT:

ACT has decided to reschedule the April 4, 2020 National ACT® test date to our June 13 and July 18 test dates in response to concerns regarding the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19).

ACT will be notifying registered students directly in the next few days, informing them of the postponement and providing instructions for next steps.

We will be in contact with you in the days ahead as we work to plan for June and July, where we will need to build capacity to accommodate April examinees.

Our primary concern right now is the safety of students and testing staff. We hope you and your loved ones are healthy and safe during this challenging time.
