Excuse us while we brag for a minute… Our Superintendent is pretty talented! Dr. Jane Stavem is an accomplished pianist, vocalist, trumpet player, French horn player, percussionist, xylophone player… oh, and she also plays harmonica! 😉 These talents, along with her deep love for all things Fine Arts, earned her the honor of Parade Marshal for Festival of Bands 2022! We are proud to be lead by someone who values the role extracurriculars play in “preparing each student to succeed in a changing world!”
Congratulations to the 2022-2023 Student Council Representatives!
Also, a big shout out to the runners up. We appreciate everybody's willingness to make PHMS the best it can be! Way to go!

Remember to to wear your orange tomorrow!
Friday, September 30th, 2022, is Orange shirt day which began in Canada in 2013. It promotes awareness about the history of American Indian and Native Residential boarding school systems, which still impact Native American and First Nations communities in the United States and Canada. The day honors the children who were removed from their families and forced into boarding schools and remembers those who never returned home.

Last year today, we lost Owen Turner, a student who was a friend to everyone he met.
Thank you to Gibson Memorial of Sioux Falls and Patrick Henry Student Council for helping us honor all of the students we have lost. Also, thank you to Karyn Veenis for maintaining the garden and creating the space where Owen can always be a part of our school.
