🌮 Taco 'bout a great way to end the week! 🌮
Friday lunch was a little extra delicious thanks to Bank of Pontiac! Our PTHS/LACC faculty and staff were treated to a taco salad and nacho bar, complete with some sweet desserts! 😋
A huge THANK YOU to Bank of Pontiac for the delicious lunch and for always showing such wonderful support for our schools. We appreciate you! 🧡💙

Dressed up and ready to dance! 💃🕺✨

Our Enchanted Garden came to life for Homecoming 2026! 🌿🌸✨ Students traded their spirit wear for their Saturday-night best and enjoyed an evening with friends. From the beautiful garden-inspired setting and photo ops to the dance floor, it was a night full of smiles, laughter, and plenty of memories. 🧡💙

Here are a few of our favorite moments from a truly ✨enchanting✨ evening! 📸🌿

We’re still reeling from an unforgettable Homecoming Week! 🧡💙

From hallway decorating, Powder Puff, and Buff Puff to dress-up days, the pep rally, the parade, the big game, and everything in between—our Indians brought the energy all week long!

There’s nothing quite like seeing our students, staff, alumni, and community come together to celebrate PTHS. Thank you to everyone who helped make Homecoming 2026 one to remember!

🧡💙Until next year, Indians! 🧡💙

🧡💙 Happy National Coaches Day!💙🧡

Today, we celebrate the coaches who dedicate their time, energy, and passion to our PTHS student-athletes. From early mornings and late nights to practices, competitions, and everything in between, our coaches do so much more than teach the game—they build confidence, encourage teamwork, develop leadership, and help shape our students both on and off the field.

To ALL of our PTHS coaches across every sport and activity, thank you for the countless hours you invest in our students and for representing PTHS with pride.

We appreciate all that you do for our student-athletes and our school community. Happy National Coaches Day! 🧡💙

🌎🍎 Happy World Teachers’ Day! 🍎🌎

Today, we celebrate the incredible educators who make a difference in the lives of our students every single day. At PTHS, our teachers do so much more than teach—they inspire, encourage, challenge, support, and believe in our students.

Thank you to the dedicated teachers who show up each day ready to make a difference, help students discover their potential, and prepare them for whatever comes next. Your impact reaches far beyond the classroom, and we are incredibly grateful for all that you do!

Happy World Teachers’ Day to our amazing PTHS teachers! 🧡💙
