Brief Message From the Principal
Dear Pirate Families,
As we approach the final stretch of the semester, there are only 12 days of school left! Let’s make these last few days count and finish strong—both academically and personally.
Winter break is just around the corner, and we want to send our students off with a sense of pride in all their hard work. Let’s keep the momentum going!
As we sail toward the holidays, remember:
"A pirate’s life is not about the treasure we seek, but the journey we take." – Unknown
Wishing you all a joyful and restful winter break!
Jered Brown
Principal, Pleasant Hope High School
