Welcome the New Faces at PVHS


Ms. Keely Hafer and Mr. Danny Barbara join Dr. Charles Park 
as the new PVHS Administration Team



The PVHS campus is very excited to add the expertise of fabulous teachers
and support staff. Students have access to a wealth of resources at their fingertips 
with the addition of these talented individuals to join all those that make PVHS
home to our Sea Kings.

Sea Kings Care


Be The Change and ASB brought the Sea King family and community together to support
victims of Hurricane Harvey. Thank you to all who donated to support this wonderful cause!


Thank you so much for your donations!

Thank You, Boosters

The PVHS Booster Club provides for critical needs around campus.

While one of the more obvious new additions was the athletic turf in the stadium, much goes unnoticed to the typical campus visitor. The Booster Club provides much needed resources to keep the rigorous academic programs of PVHS thriving. 

Registering is easy via the Booster Club website at http://pvboosterclub.com and donations are tax deductible. Members will receive logo'd gifts and are invited to attend the Kick-Off party on Friday, October 13, after the home football game. 

Most importantly, all proceeds stay here on the PVHS campus and you can direct any contribution above the $200 Basic Level for the exclusive use of the Academic, Arts or Athletic programs that you designate on a Restricted basis. 

Because of the generous donations, students and teachers were able to attend AP conferences, world language trainings, and PVIT competitions this summer. 

In addition, the Booster Club helped fund recent campus improvements including: 
- New Stadium Field Turf 
- Professional-grade upper and lower dance floors 
- Jumbo athletic lockers in both the boys and girls locker rooms
