Exchange Student Spotlight - Port Huron Schools is hosting six exchange students from around the globe this school year. This week, we welcome Emma!
My name is Emma. I am from Modena, Italy. I am 17 and currently attending Port Huron High School as a senior.
I always wanted to come to the US to experience American High School. This experience is a great opportunity for me because it allows me to grow both linguistically and personally. In the past few years I met some people who had this experience and I finally convinced myself to do it.
This experience so far has been amazing, I'm having a lot of fun and I'm grateful for everyone who is making this experience unforgettable for me.
When I return to Italy I will attend my senior year (we have five years of high school) and then as soon as I get my diploma I will go to the University because I would like to work in the medical field.
The Jr. BWQB League played their last regular season match of the year at Holland Woods this week.
Congratulations to Mrs. Davert and the Fort Gratiot A Team who were our Season Champions!
Exchange Student Spotlight - Port Huron Schools is hosting six exchange students from around the globe this school year. This week, we welcome Sidonie!
My name is Sidonie Delagree and I am from Rennes in France. I'm 16 and currently attending Port Huron High School in 12th grade.
I got the idea during the 2021 summer. A friend of mine had already spent three months in Canada so I was thinking to do the same, because I always wanted to learn English but I never spoke English well. I think you can't learn a new language well if you don't go to a country and speak the language. I didn't try to find more information on their programme so I lost the idea. When I started my 10th year I was thinking about it and I talked with my mom and I did it.
So far everything is going great I'm in an amazing family, I have my group of friends and everything I wanted. So yes, that is good!
Sometimes I want to see my friends in France but I think it's normal and every exchange student has the same thing.
When I come back, I will see my friends and I will need two more years in high school before my French graduation. After that, honestly I don't know. I will probably go to Spain to learn the language because right now it's very important to speak as many languages so I'm going to learn another until I know what I want for my future.

PHSchools Exchange Student Spotlight: Rida Noor Our district is proud to welcome six students from around the globe this year to the Port Huron Schools community. This week, meet Rida!
My name is Rida Noor. I am from Karachi, Pakistan. I am 16 and currently attending Port Huron Northern high school as a Junior.
The reason for me to participate in this experience was to have an idea of American schools and culture. Other than that my parents really wanted me to study abroad. It was more like a dream of theirs that one of their children has studied abroad.
My experience so far is amazing. I am living with my host family and they are the loveliest people I have met. People in my host community are really nice. The school I am going to is a huge school for me and the best thing is the people in my school are very good. Most of the people I have met here are welcoming and really happy when they meet me. My teachers are amazing, they always help me out with anything I do not understand. I have made some really good friends in school and I am really thankful for making my experience a lot better. I love this place, it makes me feel like home which is a wonderful feeling. And I am so thankful that I am spending my exchange year here.
As much as I love being here, I still have to go back to continue my studies. I will be going to college next year, I took pre-engineering for my college. Being a software engineer is in my mind so far. That is why I took pre-engineering but I still have to know some other fields in engineering to know what is best for me. I would love to come back here for my university education if I get a chance to. I am looking for some good and affordable universities for my career, so it depends where I find one that I want to go.
The first match of the BWQB of the season was held last night. The results for both JV and Varsity matches are attached along with some pictures of PHHS Varsity Quiz Bowl students.
Jr. Blue Water Quiz Bowl League kicked off their season this week at Central Middle School. Good luck to our district competitors for the 2023 season! #1PHASD
PHSchools Exchange Student Spotlight: Lucia Sarzi-Maddidini
Our district is proud to welcome six students from around the globe this year to the Port Huron Schools community. This week, meet Lucia!
"My name is Lucia, I am from Milan, Italy, and I am 17 years old. I am currently attending Port Huron High School as a Senior. I always wanted to participate in this experience since I was in elementary school and I found out of its existence from an older friend that spent his exchange year in Georgia.
Since I’ve been here everything has been amazing. I’ve been living a new life and I couldn’t be more happy! I’ve made a lot of friends and I love being around them and around my host family.
When I go back home I’ll have to attend my last year of High School in Italy (because we have 5 years of high school) and then after I’ll get my diploma in June 2024. I will probably attend a University in Spain."
