Covid had made a big mess for students last year from what everyone could see, yet it sadly has lingered over into this school year. However, last year kids at our school were given some help with AICE exams being worked around it so that the studying and learning all year for the big test…
History EOC
It’s unbelievable that students in AICE US History have to take a US History EOC on top of taking our AICE test. Juniors are being forced to do it too! A bunch of other students at PHS, including me, would not be complaining if it did something that would benefit us. BUT IT DOES NOT!…
Working Fast Food
Having a fast food job in high school can be an easy way to get money for a student. But, working at my job has showed me (as most of my customers tell me) I am overworked and underpaid. On average the starting pay for a student is $9-10 in a fast food chain. I…

End of Year Stress
High school has been….a walk in the park, well maybe a light jog. But now that the year is almost at the end along with my high school experience, I am SPRINTING in the park and the walk is far behind! For students like me, a junior trying to graduate early to get a head…
Charged for nothing?
It’s great that the school has drink vending machines, but half of the time we can’t even get the drink. The diet soda vending machines often have problems either saying “cash only” or all sold out. But the biggest issue with the machines are charging cards without giving the student the drink, or it will…
