PHCS has been a blessing to my family. The teachers genuinely care about their students, not just academically but also spiritually. My son was given many opportunities to take advanced classes, participate in sports and fine arts, serve others, and grow in his faith. This is a great school. I highly recommend it!

This is our first year at PHCS and we love it! We have students in Lower School and Upper School. What do I love about the school? A focus on Christ - in weekly chapel, in their classrooms, and in the coursework. Inclusion - our kids are in classes that while many of the kids have been together for years - our kids were welcomed right in and quickly became part of the group. Sports! Our Upper School student has been able to play sports almost year-round and has made great friends because of it. And uniforms....used uniform sales every couple of months...really helps out! :)
