Student of the Month
  Gage Harrington is our Student of the Month for November.  He started at PHCS in 2007 and has made huge strides academically and behaviorally.  He loves coming to school an looks forward to seeing his classmates.  He is a very social boy and says "hi" to everyone using their name.  He always finds a way to make you smile when you are having a bad day.  Gage loves to laugh at jokes, have fun, and play board games with his peers.
  Last summer, he attended a camp with regular education students and was able to get along great with typical peers.  Gage is very excited about joining a Tee ball team in January 2010.  Gage enjoys playing Xbox 360, computer games and playing chase with his classmates and friends.
