Thank you, Ace Hardware, for your generous donation of paint sticks! Our PES students are turning them into tomahawks to show their Redskin pride for Homecoming!


✨Redskin Assembly Hall✨
Imagine a space where our students can gather for meals, assemblies, performances, and community events—all under one roof. With the 2025 Millage Campaign, that vision becomes reality through the new Redskin Assembly Hall.
This multipurpose space will feature a dedicated stage and gathering area designed to celebrate student achievement, showcase talent, and bring our school community together like never before.

🏫 Building a More Accessible Future 🏫
Right now, our current high school building has three sets of stairs and is not ADA accessible. For students with disabilities, this creates barriers that make learning and daily routines much more difficult.
With the 2025 Millage Campaign, a new high school would provide modern, ADA-compliant facilities—ensuring every student has equal access to classrooms, resources, and opportunities.
Accessibility isn’t just a convenience; it’s a necessity. Together, we can create a school where all students can learn, grow, and succeed. ❤️🖤
