Upcoming dates

Dear PHHS Students and Parents:

The winter and early spring is a very important time for the high school.  There are a couple of pivotal activities which dominate the time and attention of high school students and staff.

This is the time of enrollment for the following year.  The choices that students and parents make regarding the following year’s classes require a great deal of forethought and attention.  The first consideration is obtaining the required number of specific credits for graduation.  Additionally, students should select courses based upon their four year plan and their post high school interests.  Enrollment is the opportunity to make sure that students are prepared for whatever they choose to do after their graduation.

This year we will continue to enroll students through our advisory program.  Pleasant Hill High School will host our annual Advisory Night on March 6th. On this night, parents will have a chance to visit with their student’s advisor to discuss student course selections for next year.  There are many courses offered in high school and we want to ensure that your student is taking the courses that best prepare them for their future.  It is vital that you understand their course choices.  You are essential to the scheduling process, and we look forward to seeing you on March 6th. 

Students and staff are also preparing for EOC testing in April.  EOC testing is an opportunity for students to show what they know and have learned since the last time they were tested in that subject area.  Pleasant Hill High School curriculum is aligned to the State standards; therefore, the EOC test assesses how well a student understands the concepts and information that has been taught over the last couple of years.  The EOC test is also used by the school to assess how well the subjects have been taught and how our curriculum addresses the state standards.  The data that students and the school receive from these tests are a useful tool in determining future plans for both students and staff. 

Again thank you for your involvement and support.

Sincerely,
Paul Canaan , Ed.D
Principal, Pleasant Hill High School
