PHS Forecasting Night Helps Students Plan for Next Year

About 550 students, parents, and families attended the PHS Forecasting Night at the end of February. The hallways were filled with 55 booths highlighting academic areas, elective classes, clubs, sports, activities, and community partners.

Attendees could get informed at a presentation in the PHS Auditorium, browse the booths, and enjoy dinner at one of three vendors — PHS Culinary Program Food Truck, The Dog House, and Panchitos.

PHS Principal Pat Dutcher said the event was a great success. “We appreciate all the families who joined us to plan with their students for success next school year. Family Forecasting Night is one of those Pendleton High School events that reminds us what we do all of this for. It’s a celebration of our students, our programs, and the people who make PHS special, while also giving families clear, practical information to help their students plan a strong path to graduation.”

Dutcher said he is incredibly grateful to Jill Gregg, ASPIRE Coordinator, who plans all of the logistics for the entire event and keeps everything running smoothly from start to finish. He also thanked PHS counselors Karen Demianew and Ron Murphy for their outstanding presentations that helped families make sense of course options and future planning. “And a special thanks to Maria Davis for leading our first-ever presentation in Spanish, which was a meaningful step in making sure every family feels welcomed, informed, and connected at PHS.”
