To kick off PHS Back-to-School Night, the high school hosted its First Annual Chili Cook-Off. School departments, school clubs, and school athletic teams offered up their best chili concoctions. The event was the brainchild of Principal Adam Littlefield and organized by Parent Club VPs Melanie Marcus and Linda Smith Munyan.
Students on ASB sold tickets and provided tours of the high schools during the event

Delicious! What a fun community-building event. Thanks to all the groups and clubs who came out to share their home-cooking and welcome parents back-to-school. Well done!
