Board of Education Regular Meeting Principal Report: Eric Bohm

Student Acknowledgements: I know I recognized the marching band last month, however they continue to impress me. While at the State Marching Band Competition at ISU, they were awarded the Highest Achievement in Crowd Appeal in Class 2A, which is the result of excellence in marching in music. This is the first time PTHS has received this award and the first award the marching band has received in over 10 years at the competition. Staff Acknowledgements : I would like to recognize Joseph Durbin for all of his work regarding the Distinguished Alumni assembly, banquet, and other events. The inductees have really enjoyed the day and appreciate the recognition. They even enjoy being in the parade, they literally go down memory lane as they ride in the convertibles and receive their recognition by the parade spectators. School Improvement / Curriculum Updates : We are in the initial stages of creating a “ Sophomore Experience ” learning community that is meeting approximately twice a month to discuss the growth/regression of our sophomores. Similar to the Freshman Learning Community, the group consists of teachers, guidance counselors, school social worker, school psychologist, and administrators. The focus is on creating interventions and providing support for our students as we continue to hold them to high expectations.

Events of Emphasis :  November 11 – Veterans Day Ceremony @ 7:55a.m.

We are committed to our development as adaptive learners, global thinkers, and responsible citizens through collaboration across our school community.
