Parent Council, an organization of all interested parents, provides this necessary element. Under the guidance of Mr. J. McDonough, High School Principal, the Council meets once a month to discuss school activities and problems which concern both stu¬ dents and their parents. Parents then act as an advisory board to the administration. Back-to-School Night is one program plan¬ ned by Parent Council to acquaint parents with the school, the teachers, and the curriculum. An¬ other annual Parent Council event is the Parent- Teachef Scholarship Show. This combined parent-teacher effort raises money for the con¬ tinued education of deserving PHS senior gradu¬ ates. During the past ten years over $25,000 has been raised by the Show, and 136 students have been given financial assistance to help further their education.
