OUR SPECIALTY P.M.H.S. is known for many things such as sports and our year long school system, but what really makes up our school is the people. Being the small school it is, everybody knows each other and everyone seems to get along great. Sure, we hit some rough spots sometimes, but we all pull through it together. The students and faculty at P.M.H.S. get along terrific too. The teachers do their very best to help the students any way possible, even if that means using some of their own time. It takes a special person to do that. Then we can take sports into consideration, this year we won State Cham- pionship in football. Our team never could have done this if it weren’t for them and the coaches working so well together. The people at Parry McCluer — that’s our speciality. ole a Division Page People 5
