We recently had the honor of celebrating the retirement of two veteran PHS staff members: Geneva Oswalt and Karlyn Bebout. Geneva and Karlyn had 50 years of combined service to the district and we are thankful for their years of work on behalf of kids and the community. Both Geneva and Karlyn went beyond the call of duty this year to cover classes during staff shortages due to covid. Their sacrifices allowed us to remain open on several occasions this year. We wish them a happy and well-deserved retirement. art credit: Jon Corea, PHS Art Teacher
