Welcome back Pirates! Morning parent drop off starts at 7:45AM. Students should not be dropped off before that time. We do not have staff on campus before that time to monitor students. Thank you Pirate parents for helping us with this!

Today we celebrated two incredible educators, Lisa Rhodes and Heather Wingo, whose years of dedication, compassion, and hard work have made a lasting impact on countless students, families, and fellow staff members. Their commitment to teaching has helped shape lives, inspire growth, and create memories that will never be forgotten.

Through the years, they have given so much of themselves — offering encouragement, wisdom, patience, and care to everyone around them. Their influence reaches far beyond the classroom, and their legacy will continue to be felt for many years to come.

As they begin this new chapter, we wish them nothing but happiness, success, relaxation, and exciting adventures ahead. Thank you both for your many years of service, your unwavering dedication, and the difference you have made in the lives of so many. Best wishes for a future filled with joy, good health, and all the wonderful things you deserve. #ptjh #ptjhrocks #piratepride
