Congratulations to the Class of 2025 Music Department Seniors! Congratulations also to Gabby Heinrich for being awarded the National School Choral Award and to Madison Walter for being awarded the John Phillip Sousa Band Award! These are the highest honors that can be earned by high school musicians. Thank you to our community for the continued support of music in our schools!
Congratulations to our amazing PJHS students who conquered their annual 5K yesterday! These students in our 5K elective class have been working hard all 4th quarter to reach this goal. This year's run was in support of the Tanner Jacobs Foundation. Tanner Jacobs has held our 5K record since 2014-2015! We are so grateful for the incredible support from our students, staff, parents, and community who cheered everyone on. Thank you to Mrs. Keeling, Mr. Butler, and Mrs. Schutt for their commitment to training alongside our students. And a big thank you to Ron Jacobs and the Tanner Jacobs Foundation for your support of our PJHS students. 🏃♀️🏃♂️
