This year's junior/senior prom will take place on Saturday, April 26th at the Renaissance World Golf Village Resort from 8 pm - 12 am.  Tickets will go on sale in mid-April, the cost is $60.

It has come to our attention that communication has gone out to some or all of you from some parents regarding an alternative prom.  In that communication it is stated that revenues that exceed expenses will be donated to the school's boosters.  On behalf of the PVHS Sharks Boosters I would like to inform you that the Boosters has no involvement with this event and will not be accepting any funds from the organizers of the event, nor does the Boosters take any position with regard to the event. Thank you very much.

Peter Goplerud, President PVHS Booster Club

PV High Students' testing season is in full swing! FCAT retakes are complete and 10th grade Reading went smoothly on Monday. A positive, low stress environment is possible because of our excellent staff, lead by our testing coordinator, Mrs. Hrach, and our many volunteers! Thanks to Vernice Magiske, Pat Devlin, Deborah Serrahn, Barbara Sabo, and Laura Kusumoto for starting the week. Many of our students will be continue taking FCAT, End of Course (EOC) and/or Advanced Placement (AP) exams in April and May and we are in need of additional proctors.  Proctoring is an important responsibility and invaluable to the testing process. Up to 8 volunteers are required daily.  Reserved parking, hot coffee in the media center, and a significant savings in substitute teacher costs are your reward!!

Please consider volunteering for one or more time slots.  High school proctors may bring in books/ipads/etc to read during the testing.  Your assistance is greatly appreciated!!

You must be an approved volunteer in order to help.  If you are not currently approved, visit the PVHS website and click the "Volunteer App" link on the left hand side.  If questions, contact Susan Snyder: bssnyder12@aol.com

EXAM DATES:  April 14-May 23

The Interfaith Baccalaureate Service will be held at Christ Episcopal Church on Tuesday May 27th at 6 pm.  In contrast to the large graduation, this service offers our students a quieter, more intimate setting for reflection of their past four years of high school.  It will include music, advice from faculty members and a pastoral message. All seniors and their families are encouraged to attend.  A cupcake reception will immediately follow in the courtyard.  Seniors should wear their graduation gowns.  (Parents this is a great time to take photos of your student and their friends in their gowns in a relaxed setting.)


The PVHS Music Department has been off to a tremendous start with the 88 Keys Campaign. The goal of the campaign is to raise money for the purchase of a grand piano and for the Music Department's needs. Such programs will complement the school's existing music offerings by bringing in new musical exposures and experiences for students. It is hoped that the 88 Keys Campaign will increase awareness and participation in these fundraising efforts.

Donations of any amount are welcome. Donors contributing $100 or more will be recognized on a special "88 Keys" plaque to be displayed in the school's Music Department. Each key is designated for a certain donation amount. So far, more than 20 donors have put us more than halfway towards getting a piano already! If interested in donating, please fill out a contribution form which has been posted on the PVHS home page, and contact Pro Arte President Charis Wang at iamcharis.ev@gmail.com or the PVHS Music Director Jennifer Christensen at jennifer.christensen@stjohns.k12.fl.us for more details.
