PHS Weekly Blast
Pirate Families:
November has arrived, and with it holiday music on local radio stations. While I am not a fan of holiday music prior to Thanksgiving, at the least, the weather has started to feel like fall, so this means seasonal breaks are near and both our students and teachers can begin to anticipate the end of the semester.
If any families are planning extended days of vacation around Thanksgiving and the winter breaks, please reach out to your student’s teachers and our attendance secretary to let them know so that they can be prepared. We will try to accommodate these requests as we understand that work and family obligations do not always fit perfectly within our designated days off. Advanced notice on these absences is appreciated.
Crew Mate of the Week --- Lori Angello
Lori Angello is our Crew Mate of the Week!
Lori is nominated by the admin team for her behind the scenes work for P/T Conferences. Lori schedules the spaces, prepares the building maps, creates and prints the table tents, orders the meals, delivers the meals, and organizes the admin assistant schedules to cover the front table. Lori's work may go unnoticed by many, but we would not enjoy a smooth P/T conference experience without her planning and organization. Thank you, Lori! We are lucky to have you on The Ship!

During Academic Seminar | PE Gym
We will celebrate our sophomores and juniors who earned Spring 2026 Honor Roll recognition. Students will receive certificates and enjoy snacks as we recognize their hard work and academic accomplishments during our Seminar time in our Honor's Hall and PE Gym. As this is during the school day, parents and families are not invited.
These achievements reflect the dedication, perseverance, and spirit of excellence that define our Piper High School community. We are incredibly proud of the hard work, commitment, and determination our students demonstrate both inside and outside the classroom.

Spring 2026 Honor Roll: Students who achieved a GPA of 3.0 or higher during their junior year spring semester.
Email invites will be sent out to all students who will be recognized, and students and their families are encouraged to attend as we celebrate academic excellence and the positive impact our learners continue to make. Graduates who earned these distinctions during the previous school year are also warmly invited to attend and receive recognition.
