A big thank you to our hardworking PHS National Honor Society members who organized and ran this year’s spring Blood Drive! 🩸❤️

Thanks to their efforts—and the generosity of our amazing students and community donors—we collected 112 units of blood with the Red Cross. An incredible accomplishment that will help save lives!

Hey, hey!!! AP Biology successfully modified the genome of some non- virulent E. coli bacteria. Students inserted a gene from a jellyfish that produces a bioluminescent protein into the bacteria. Successful transformation equals glowing bacterial colonies!
