School Philosphy and Safety |
|
|
|
Our goal at PHMS is to provide all students with an opportunity to receive a top rate education. Palm Harbor is an "A" school and we strongly encourage all students to challenge themselves academically through advanced coursework. Communication is critical at the middle school level for student success. Please do not hesitate to reach out. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As a school, we strive to provide students a safe environment. In order to make sure students are aware of what to do in a crisis situation, we will conduct monthly fire drills and active assailant drills. In addition we will have tornado drills each semester. |
