Since the program began in November of 2024 PTHS has had a near record increase in attendance.
Students will be entered for the chance to win a car at the end of the school year based on their attendance, behavior, and academics!
Hands of Hope has a fundraising goal of $7,000. If you would like to contribute, you can do so at the Road to Excellence GoFundMe- https://bit.ly/4i6esSe
