Parents of off campus CTE students: Attached is our bus schedule for the CTE programs, at all three off campus locations. These schedules are also in the cafeteria and on bulletin boards throughout the building. If busses are departing before the times listed, please reach out to Mrs. Bryant.

Additional Notes: Students in Social Services at PHS should take their backpacks to second period and leave class at 9:25 to catch their bus. All students leaving at 11:40 should go to the front of the lunch line so they will be served lunch first. Morning plumbing and social services students will eat lunch during middle school lunch/high school advisory. Students may choose to eat in the cafeteria or in their advisory class.
