Early this morning we had the next big concrete pour at the new PHS Campus. In the picture you can see the Speedway lit up across the highway. The pump is laying in the area that will be the weight room (to the right) and the culinary classroom and lab space (to the left). Immediately past that is the cafeteria that was recently poured and faintly visible beyond that is the floor of the new gym. We love to see the progress. Next will be the floors of the CTE Building (already formed) and the Performing Arts Building.
PES Supply List
Pima High School students Kamea Nelson and Maigan Ferrin, both incoming seniors, recently made their mark on the national stage by competing in the Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) National Leadership Conference held in Orlando, Florida from June 30 to July 2, 2024. Demonstrating exceptional skill and dedication, Nelson and Ferrin secured 5th place out of 114 teams in the highly competitive Sales Presentation event. Kamea and Maigan's achievement is particularly notable given the intense competition and the high level of talent present at the event.
Prior to their success at the national level, both students excelled at the Regional and State Conferences, which earned them the opportunity to represent Pima High School and the state of Arizona on the national stage. Their journey to the top 5 in the nation reflects their hard work, dedication, and passion for business leadership. Congratulations to Kamea Nelson and Maigan Ferrin on their outstanding achievement!

Summer Meals Information
PHS will be on the following schedule for the final week of school.
IMPORTANT REMINDER. If your student needs to talk to a mental health professional, we have a readily available FREE resource for them. Dial Care is a free online way to connect with real therapists on a schedule that works for you, and they can do so from the comfort of their own homes on a schedule that works for them. IT'S SUPER EASY, so if your student is like so many others and is struggling with depression, anxiety, or any other mental health conditions, please DON'T HESITATE. Simply go to https://member.dialcare.com/login, and have them login using their school login information. Reach out to the school counselors if you have any questions or need help getting logged in.
PHS ACT Prep Tailgate and Celebrate this Friday!
It's time for state testing again. PJHS students will begin with the state writing test on Wednesday, April 3. The AzSci exam will be held, for 8th graders only, on April 9, and the Math and Reading assessments will take place on April 17 & 18.
Please ensure your student is well-rested and has a nutritious breakfast the morning of testing. Also, please do not schedule any appointments or plan to check your student out on those days. Once a student begins a test, they must finish it before leaving campus. Please call the office with any questions.
Kindergarten Registration is coming up! Please call 928.387.8051 to make an appointment.
If you haven't heard about DialCare, you should check it out. It is a virtual counseling tool that is accessible anywhere. The student sets up an appointment, with parent consent, and it is completely private. The school will not know who is accessing this resource. This is a great way to get some therapy for your students in brief, 30-minute, sessions. Sign up today at https://member.dialcare.com/login with their school email (Username) and school ID (Password).

Thank you for your support and patience as we undertook a campus-wide lockdown at Pima Schools today. The lockdown was initiated after a student reported that another student had made what was deemed a credible threat to commit a violent act at one of our schools. Out of an abundance of caution all three schools were put on lockdown a little before 1:00pm. Since many PHS students were away at lunch, those students returning were told to leave and not plan to return until Monday. About an hour later local law enforcement determined the threat had been neutralized, and the lockdown was lifted.
Nobody was harmed. It was never believed that a weapon was on campus. In these situations there is always a desire for more information than you have, and we appreciate those desires and the stress not knowing causes. Please understand that information is controlled to keep people safe. The safety of our students is our number one priority.
A special thank you to the Pima Police, Thatcher Police, Safford Police and Graham County Sheriff's office for their diligent efforts to help us in this moment of crisis.
