Our student population will almost double as will our faculty and staff. With a larger group of teachers and students, it is the responsibility of EVERYONE who returns from last year to share the norms, traditions, and focus on excellence that we worked so hard to establish during Year One. In creating our handbook for the upcoming year, we will do as I hope to do every year. We will look back on what worked well and what didn't. We will use the lessons that we have learned to improve our school and to anticipate as best we can what we need to do to prepare for Year 3. As always, this handbook is intended to communicate our expectations to our students, parents, and community. Answers to most questions about student life at PVHS can be found in this handbook. This is the reason that we go to the time and expense to modify the handbook and give every student a free copy. It is our intention that this handbook become a valuable tool for students to use in their efforts to learn and grow. I hope that Year Two will be as successful as our first and that PVHS can continue to establish itself as one of the best schools in the state. Our administration, faculty and staff fully understand that our success comes from the success of our students. Sincerely, Dr. Chris J. Ferguson Powdersville High School Mission Statement PVHS provides a safe, academically challenging environment where each student can learn from the past and prepare for the future. Powdersville High School Beliefs We believe that there are many variables to student success most of which are outside the control of the school. We believe that instruction is the most important variable and it is within the direct control of the school. The goal of the school should be to provide the highest quality instruction possible to best prepare students for their goals beyond high school. All other aspects of the school program should support high quality instruction and the goal to best prepare students for life beyond high school. 3 DIRECTORY Office Personnel: (864) 312-5641 Principal Dr. Chris J.
