PHS Annual 8th Grade Open House Rescheduled to Jan. 12
Portland High School's Annual 8th Grade Open House
has been rescheduled to Monday, Jan. 12 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. The
event was originally slated for Thursday, Jan. 8, but the date has been
changed for weather-related reasons.
The open house will allow
families of eighth-graders to learn all about PHS as those students
decide which of Portland’s three high schools they want to attend next
year.
The Portland Public Schools offers eighth-graders a unique
opportunity to choose between its three high schools, each with a
distinctive personality and offerings. Events such as open houses aid
eighth-grade families in choosing a school by a Jan. 30, 2015
commitment deadline.
Portland students may attend any of the
city’s three public high schools – Portland, Deering or Casco Bay –
regardless of where they live in the city.
Deering High School held its open house on Dec. 4 and Casco Bay High School held its event on Dec. 11.
At
Portland High School’s open house on Jan. 12, families will learn what
makes PHS – home of the Bulldogs and located right in the heart of
Portland with the city as its campus – a unique high school, according
to Principal Deborah Migneault.
