Video: Mighty Eagle’s Eagle Expressions Day, where creativity flourished in clubs, forging friendships and igniting passions before Spring Break.

Mighty Eagle Nation, check out the energy from our latest EAGLE EXPRESSIONS Day!

Before Spring Break, our students had the chance to connect and build community by joining a variety of engaging clubs during Eagle Time Tier 2 intervention period, all part of supporting the whole child.

From Painting with a Twist to Poetry Club, Origami with Mrs Santos, Draw with me, or diving into Cinema with Mr. Campos, our Eagles had so many ways to express themselves and find their club!

These special days happen about once every six weeks and remind us that at PHS, it’s about more than academics it’s about creativity, relationships, and discovering new interests.

Congratulations to the CTHS students who engineered an impressive space station design during the NASA competition weekend.

Congratulations to #theCTHS students that participated in the Space Settlement and Design competition at NASA this weekend. Bruce Nguyen, Emiliano Castillo, Lana Fontenot, Audrey Rosales, Alberto Urquiza, Kiera Jnlouis, Caleb Meyer, and Lenneth Cruz worked for 36 hours to design a space station on Mars. The competition is high-intensity and simulates an engineering industry environment. The students collaborated with students from across Texas and US and finished their designs overnight Saturday with the help of some NASA mentors and engineers, and presented to a panel of judges on Sunday morning.

Caleb and Lenneth were on the winning team. Students not only learn about engineering and technical skills, but how to work with a team, communicate effectively, be a strong leader, and other life and soft skills, critical to success after high school. Congratulations to all the participants!
