Our high school students may have one foot in the adult world, but days like today remind us they are still kids at heart.
From such creative costumes to lots of laughter, Halloween is a great reminder that it is okay to take a break, have fun, and let that inner child shine. No matter your age!
We love seeing our students (and staff!) enjoy these moments together.
Happy Halloween from all of us at PVHS! 🎃👻

Student Spotlight: 11th Grader — Madilyn “Madi” Higginbotham
Ms. Bailey writes:
“Madi exudes leadership, kindness, and drive. She is always helping her peers not just finish their work, but truly understand what they are learning. She also consistently supports her teachers. Madi plans to go to college to become a teacher, and she is going to be an amazing leader in her community.”
When interviewed, Madi shared that education has always been a priority in her home. Her mom, a teacher at Rosemary Clarke Middle School, instilled the value of education, and Madi admires how hard her mom works. She is also grateful for the support of her dad and sister.
In her free time, Madi enjoys spending time with friends and hanging out with her dogs.
We are proud to highlight Madi for her leadership, kindness, and dedication to her future.

Parents & Guardians,
Ensuring the safety and well-being of our students is our top priority. I am writing to inform you about a medical response that occurred on our campus this morning in case you saw the ambulance lights at Pathways.
A PVHS student experienced a medical emergency near the Pathways building. Students and staff responded quickly, and emergency medical services were called to the scene. The student’s family has been notified.
To ensure the privacy of the student and to allow emergency responders clear access, we initiated a brief "Stay-Put" protocol at the Pathways building. A Stay-Put is a precautionary measure where students and staff in a specific area remain in their classrooms to keep hallways clear.
This Stay-Put has been lifted, and the situation is resolved. The student is in the care of medical professionals.
We are very proud of our students who quickly reported the incident, allowing our team to respond immediately. Please be assured that all other students are safe, and the school day is proceeding as normal.
Thank you for your understanding and support.

Thank you to the parents and guardians who were able to attend last night’s parent-teacher conferences!
We appreciate you taking the time to connect with teachers.
We also recognize many families are working or juggling responsibilities and couldn’t make it in person tonight. If you weren’t able to come, please reach out! We are happy to connect another way.

AP Psychology students worked with ink blot images yesterday to see how the mind makes sense of something ambiguous. After sharing what they saw and discussing how the brain fills in meaning, they created their own ink blots to experience the process from both sides.

Please meet one of our campus monitors, Gina!
“Hello, PVHS Family and community! My name is Gina De Angelis-Beckham, a proud Pahrump Valley High alumni. I've worked for the Nye County School District for about six years now, five of the years being a Campus Monitor at PVHS. I am also a first year Hope Squad Advisor, my job allows me dual roles which I'm passionate about helping staff and students feel safe and supported, seen, I get to help them navigate through some challenges and also celebrate their strengths. I have a serving heart and I'm passionate about mental health and making sure people feel included, connected, and confident.
I'm currently pursuing my Bachelor's of Social work to deepen how to understand people and help families thrive in this community.
Out of school/work flow, I'm a wife and mom to a big blended family of 8 children💝🙏. My husband and I stay busy with our kids, we enjoy the outdoors, doing home projects, games, lots of journaling, laughter, lots of music, we are part of Fidelis Christian Church I sing for the worship team, singing is a huge outlet for me.
I enjoy walking the halls each day and being able to be light in dark spaces and just give back to a place that I once ran to as my safety place on some days. These kids are our next generation, our next leaders, let's raise the bar with love and kindness.”

10th Grade English students worked in crisis-mode today: too many people, not enough resources, and they had to decide…who stays and who gets voted out of the shelter to ensure survival.
In assigned roles, they debated, justified, and reached a group decision. This gave the students a great way to practice civil disagreement and ethical reasoning.
A powerful warm-up to the themes they’ll soon explore in Lord of the Flies.

Facing Modern Addictions
Mrs. Martin’s psychology students explored the many addictions our society faces today — from social media and fast food to vaping, alcohol, and more.
They created powerful posters showing how these addictions impact the mind, body, and society. Last week, students voted on the posters that best captured their topic based on background, effects, legal issues, and overall impact.

Creativity Across the Curriculum at PVHS!
From science posters and moon maps to fantasy island creations and award-winning art, our students are showing that learning comes alive through imagination, exploration, and hands-on creativity.
Every hallway tells a story of curiosity, learning, and Trojan pride.

In Mr. Nygaard’s class, students are learning about fractures and healing.
Students learned about the different types of bone fractures and how each one heals. Through a hands-on lab, they cut and labeled paper “bones” to model breaks and explore how the body repairs itself after injury.
Science comes to life when learning is hands-on!
#trojans #pvhs #scienceclass #handsonlearning #scienceisfun
Teachers and the cheer team are preparing early this am for the pep assembly today for HOMECOMING!
It’s all the little things that teachers and students do every day above and beyond in a million different ways at PVHS that makes it so special!
