Mrs Chase's High School Guitar Class had a great time learning how to tune their guitars and play cool rock riffs on them!
It was a fabulous week at PJHS! Lots of learning and fun going on in the classrooms!
Our “big” Panthers came to celebrate with our “little” Panthers at Washington about how being respectful, safe, & ready to learn leads to success. Go Panthers!
Students were learning about the scientific method in Mrs. Beyers' physical science class. They got to put their knowledge to good use by building rockets and launching them down the hallway.
The Anatomy & Physiology students are already recruiting for next year. It’s so much fun being back at PHS!

Tips for Success
PHS Freshman Edition
We have just a few days until the start of the school year, so I thought I would release 5 last minute tips on high school success for the Class of 2025. Look for a new tip each day.
Tip #5 - Start the academic year strong. Do not fall into the trap of getting behind and then having to catch up. Get all your work turned in on time. If you are absent, get your make-up work done ASAP. Also, do not wait until you are failing to go to tutoring. Be proactive with your grades and check Lumen often. Getting caught up in high school is much harder than getting caught up in junior high.

Tip #4 - Don’t be afraid to ask for help. There are many teachers and staff members who are there to help. I am not just talking about academic concerns but also medical, social and emotional concerns. If you need help - ASK. If you are not sure who to go to for help, then just ask me. I may not be able to solve your problem, but I can get you in contact with someone who might.

Tip #3 - Get involved in a club or organization and meet new people. High school is a great place to meet new people. In elementary school, students tend to be friends with only the other students in their class, but high school is different. It is important to look for opportunities to be involved in your high school or community. In fact, there has been research that suggests that involvement in school or community organizations increases your likelihood of having a positive high school experience.
We are excited to welcome back PJHS students Tuesday, August 17th! Students will receive their schedules that morning upon arrival. Have a fabulous weekend!
Attention 6th Graders!
You didn't get a chance to meet your teachers, practice your locks, and tour the school last night. But don't worry, your teachers will be there for you Tuesday and guide you through your first day at Pana Junior High School.
The PHS golf team came out this morning to help clean up the country club after yesterday’s storm.

Tip #2 - Check your student email at least once per day. It is an important communication tool. Please remember that if you email a teacher or staff member, it may take them a bit to get back to you. A good rule of thumb is to allow 24 hours for a response. If you need a response sooner than 24 hours, please try and talk to them in person.
Attention Parents/Guardians:
Chromebook Orientation and 6th Grade Orientation has been cancelled tonight due to inclement weather. A virtual presentation will be pushed out tomorrow. We apologize for the inconvenience.
