Happy Monday!! I hope everyone enjoyed the spirit week and homecoming festivities last week. I'm sure our cadets enjoyed dressing up in spirit wear on Wednesday instead of wearing the uniform.

Students will be graded on Rank, drill and ceremony, and the cadet creed. All things they SHOULD know at this point of the semester.

Hello Parents and Students! i hope everyone had a good weekend. Last week we completed out first uniform inspection and you all did a good job on helping each other put everything in the right place on the uniform. Make sure whatever you had wrong, you correct it for this week Thursday.

Remember 1 box=T shirt, 2 Box= Military ball ticket or Hoodie, 3 Boxes= both. Good Luck! We have a full week and the schedule is as follows: Monday - Drill &

Hello and Welcome to the PHS Falcon Battalion, where we Motivate Young People to become Better Citizens! I am Sergeant Major Robinette Pryor and I will be one of two teachers that will be teaching you level I of Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps(JROTC) this 1st semester. I am excited to meet all the new students and in the weeks to come, meet the parents. The first two days we will have a few activities to get to know each other and I will also give an overview of the class and what the expectations are for you to be successful. Initially, some of you will think "this class is not for me". All I ask is that you give us at least one semester to change your mind. This class is not designed to prepare you for the military, it is designed to help you improve your self-disciple, confidence, physical fitness and leadership skills. See You on August 1, 2019 and let's have a good semester!
