Piedmont Hills High School Weekly Parent Newsletter
Dear Families,
As we close out the 2024–2025 school year, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to you our PHHS parents and guardians for your ongoing support, partnership, and trust.
This year has been filled with incredible growth, resilience, and memorable moments. From cheering at performances and games to navigating the academic journey alongside your students, your involvement has made all the difference.
Whether you're celebrating a senior preparing to graduate or supporting an underclassman moving up, I hope you take a moment to reflect on how far your student has come and the bright future ahead.
Thank you for being an essential part of our Pirate community.
Please read on for this weeks updates.
With gratitude,
Nancy Pereira
Principal, Piedmont Hills High School
Mr. Ellison and Mr Lundell are proud to recognize the Construction Technology students for their outstanding work this year! Many were new to the program and still embraced a rigorous Virtual Design & Construction (VDC) curriculum, developed in partnership with Stanford University and top industry leaders. In teams, students designed and built real projects to meet needs on our campus—bookcases, planter boxes, a vinyl shelf, and a teacher’s desk—while managing every phase from virtual modeling to hands-on construction. They worked with industry mentors, presented at Santa Clara University, and earned a Stanford VDC Certificate. They also showcased their work at Saint Mary’s College, receiving a Community Impact Certificate. This work highlights the power of Career Technical Education at PHHS where students gain real-world skills while giving back.
Special thanks to Mr. Kyle Dobrenz for his incredible support and leadership!
