Around Campus
The first annual WU State of the District was held on Wednesday evening at Cal Hi. Elected officials, partner district administrators, and school board members learned about WU. Many of our parents and students were able to share about what makes PHS a great place. On Saturday, our 2025 State Championship Baseball Team received their rings and unveiled their championship banners that commemorate a historic season! Also on Saturday was the kick-off to college event for seniors. It is officially college application and FAFSA season, and we are here to support the class of 2026! Students will be using CCGI for all of their applications this year. More information below.

Important Student Reminders
Student ID's
All students must have their school ID with them at all times while on campus. If your student needs to get an ID, they can do so in the Business and Activities Office.
Dress Code
We ask that you please review the school's dress code policy with your student as outlined in the Pioneer High School Parent & Student Handbook (Pg 19). We want to remind everyone that clothing with references to "Cookies" and "Too Much Cough Syrup", as well as any attire depicting weapons or violence, is not permitted.
Halloween Costume Guidelines
As we approach Halloween, we want to share some guidelines for costumes to ensure a fun and safe day for everyone. Please review these rules with your student:
Costumes must be appropriate. Any costume considered overexposing, suggestive, or in poor taste by administration will result in the student being sent home or asked to change.
No gang-style attire is permitted.
Masks may only be worn during the best costume contest at lunch.
No extreme makeup that hides a student's identity.
No look-alike weapons such as toy guns or knives.
All other standard dress code rules remain in effect.
The general rule of thumb is that a costume should not disrupt the learning environment for any student. Please help your student choose a safe and appropriate costume.
Smile big—it’s your last chance! 📸/ ¡Sonríe a lo grande—es tu última oportunidad! 📸
