PHHS Principal Mike Palmer added this: “I am very proud of the effort made by all of our students during summer school. We were fortunate to have several students who finished up their requirements to graduate from high school. These students faced many challenges over the past few years yet were able to persevere and finish. Congratulations to our graduates!”
