Congratulations to PHS Graduating Seniors!
Danielle Fouty
PHS alumni who are now graduating high school seniors dropped by to reconnect with their former teachers and classmates before heading off for college in the Fall. We were so happy to hear about their college acceptances and we are cheering them on for their continued success!
