We are thrilled to announce that we have opened our brand-new playground with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and students couldn't be more excited! This long-awaited project has finally come to fruition and it’s a dream come true for our students.

We are proud of this new addition to our school and the positive impacts the play structures will have on students and the community for years to come.

Our sixth grade class pitched their business ideas Shark Tank style! Each student came up with creative inventions and determined how much money they need to borrow from the “sharks” and how much equity of their company they were willing to give up. They had fun and learned about public speaking, entrepreneurship, valuations, equity, and more! Before their presentations, a former producer of Shark Tank, Ian Sambor, met with the class via Zoom to give advice and talk about the show!

This year’s PHS Educator of the Year, Dr. Mary Wilson was honored along with other educators in Palos Verdes at the annual Educator of the Year dinner and program on April 13, 2022, sponsored by the PVP Rotary Club and co-chaired by PHS’s Joan E. Behrens. Dr. Wilson spoke at the event and recounted her journey in the teaching profession and interesting incidents in her science lab preparations and experiments! Congratulations, Dr. Wilson!

“I was overwhelmed,” reflects Dr. Wilson. “It was wonderful! And thanks to my colleagues who joined me to celebrate this honor.”
