Picture
We are absolutely thrilled to share that PHSSA has been named a 2022 U.S. Department of Education Green Ribbon School! The work to achieve this designation began over 15 years ago when a committed group of community members dreamed of a school with a focus on environmental education. We are very appreciative of every member of our community who has contributed time, energy, materials and funds to PHSSA over the years to help us grow and thrive.
