Art is a great way for the students to express themselves at
PHS. It grants us a way to let our imagination run wild.
If we didn't have The Arts there would be no famous paintings or
photographs of historical people, beautiful buildings that are
centuries old, or a way to express our thoughts and feelings. Art is the
life support for some, so enjoy the talent and let it all go!
