Elizabeth, a senior, was nominated by Mrs. Jyl Mason, a Social Studies teacher at PCHS.  In the nomination, Mrs. Mason cited Elizabeth’s contributions to Lacrosse, Crossfit, and her classroom.

Each month, two PCHS students who excel in moral character, positive attitude, volunteerism, demonstrate ideal role-model behavior, and who contribute to the classroom are nominated by teachers, counselors, and high school personnel.
