We had a busy week here at PHS! We started the week off with a Kiss the Pig Fundraiser where Mrs. Kochenderfer was our lucky winner. We had 5 of our high school students travel to Potomac State College for the Regional Science Fair. All 5 students placed in their categories and Sara Vance received an invitation to the State Science Fair. Lastly, our AP Government students participated in a Mock Trial at the Grant County Court House this morning. They were able to complete a full trial to gain the experience in how trials work. #VikingProud
