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
PS. Thank you, Mr. Linnsteadter for cooking the hot dogs and hamburgers. 🙌

Our teachers had an amazing time participating in a fun-filled trivia challenge that brought laughter, teamwork, and friendly competition throughout the week.
To make the event even more exciting, winners were awarded gift baskets that were purchased with monetary donations from East Texas Professional and Ben Maine's Air Conditioning. Their support showed just how much our community appreciates the hard work and dedication of our educators.
Thank you to all of our sponsors this week for helping us celebrate our incredible teachers! #ptjh #piratepride #ptjhrocks

PTJH library students recently explored the importance of Women’s History Month, learning about the achievements, leadership, and lasting impact of influential women throughout history. Through engaging lessons, discussions, and activities, students discovered how women have shaped science, education, government, the arts, and civil rights. The experience encouraged students to appreciate diverse contributions and inspired them to recognize the power of perseverance, courage, and innovation in shaping our world today.
