I can't believe we are heading into finals week and our graduation celebration with the Class of 2022!  Please be sure to carefully review the finals schedule below, as we have special schedules each day.  As our students head into finals, I wish them the best in these last assessments of all they have learned this semester.  Remember to focus on doing your best and being as prepared as possible.  I know there have been challenges, highs, and lows this year, but let's focus on what made this year special, finish strong and celebrate as a Sea King family.  

As we close out this school year, remember to thank those teachers, coaches, and staff members who have positively impacted your life, both in and out of the classroom.  Expressing gratitude to others is truly one of the greatest gifts we can give. I continued to feel blessed to be a part of this PVHS family and I am proud to serve as your principal. Thank you as always to this amazing Sea King community for their ongoing support and dedication to our school. 

Let's make it an amazing finals week Sea Kings! 

Sincerely,

Dr. Trista Ramirez

PVHS Principal
