It's homecoming week at Patrick Henry High School and these three alumni are throwing it back by celebrating "decades day". Mrs. Amy Moncibais - Assistant Principal, Dr. Beth Litz - Biology teacher, and Mrs. Elizabeth Belcher - Chemistry teacher are all three proud graduates of PHHS. Help us celebrate homecoming by coming out to the football game Friday night and cheer on our Rebels!



Their day was packed with hands-on experiences that offered a glimpse into college life and the path toward becoming educators:
📚 Admissions & Career Center orientation
🎓 Rotations through education courses with E&H faculty
🔧 Hands-on exploration in the Maker Space
🍴 Lunch with professors and future educators from SOFE
📖 A stop at the campus bookstore, the Merc
🌳 A guided tour of the beautiful campus
We’re so proud of these future teachers as they take their first steps toward inspiring the next generation! Thank you to Emory & Henry University for hosting our students and supporting their journey.

If your graduating class is planning a reunion event, would like to have a section of the bleachers roped off or has other activities in the works during Homecoming, please email Alyssa Fields at afields@wcs.k12.va.us so we can help coordinate.
We can’t wait to see everyone showing their Rebel pride all week long! 💙🤍







We have been informed that MED Flight is planning to land their helicopter at the PH football field this afternoon. This is NOT related to a PHHS student or a PHHS employee.
