PVHS Sea King Sunday Update

I hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful weekend! Last night, PVHS celebrated A Night at Sea, our 2022 Junior and Senior Prom on the USS Iowa. Over 500 Sea Kings danced the night away under the stars, enjoying dinner, karaoke, photo booths, and caricature artists. It was wonderful to see the kids dressed up and enjoying this final dance for our Class of 2022. A huge thank you to our ASB leadership class and their advisor, Mrs. Maxfield for planning this wonderful evening! I also want to thank all of the teachers and staff members that came out to the prom to chaperone on a Saturday night. Events like this don't happen without you!

As we head into this week, our PTSA will be celebrating our faculty and staff with an appreciation week. We have an amazing group of educators here at PVHS who are dedicated to our students both in and out of the classroom. Each of us can remember a teacher, coach, counselor, or staff member that truly impacted our school experience, and I know the same is true for the kids on our campus. This week, let's show some appreciation to our faculty and staff for all they do each and every day to make PVHS a special place for our students.

Sincerely,

Dr. Trista Ramirez

PVHS Principal

Student Spotlight

Mark Lin and Andreas Tempereau spent all last week in Atlanta competing in the Regenron International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF). This fair is the world's largest international science competition. Each year, ISEF brings over 1800 students from 75 countries together to exhibit and demonstrate ingenuity through science projects of their own design. This is a huge accomplishment and we are so proud of these PVHS researchers.

Mark Lin earned 4th place in the field of Microbiology and Andreas Tempereau competed in the field of Biomedical health. Congratulations to both young scientists!
