Mrs. Dunson’s English 4 class went on a field trip today to visit Pickens Elementary School. They collaborated with Mrs. Seaborn’s 2nd grade class in a pen pal project. It was a service learning project where the HS students helped the second graders develop their writing skills. Today, they met up to do an egg hunt and a STEM challenge.

A month ago the PHS Thespian Society went to the SC Thespian Festival and competed with a series of monologues, scenes, musical numbers and a one act performance.

Our Thespian Stage Manager, Emma Dodgens, received a Superior Rating for her stage management work in last year’s Radium Girls production.
Sophia Knight earned an “Excellence in Acting” award for her work in the one-act, The Day the Internet Died.
