Hello Eagle Nation,

I want to share something special I experienced this weekend. As I was driving through Pasadena, I started noticing Pasadena High Parent volunteer signs in front yards across our community. I saw one… then another… then another. I even turned around just to take it all in.

These signs represent something bigger our parents stepping up to be leaders in our community. Some of these parents students have already graduated from PHS and they are still supporting their school and their community. Through the work led by Ms. Retta, our parent volunteers and Friday meetings are helping connect families to our school, answering questions, offering support, and making sure no family feels alone.

When schools and families work together, our students win. That is exactly what we are building here at Pasadena High School.

We have an important STAAR testing day this Tuesday for Biology and U.S. History, and this is a critical time for our students.

Students this is your opportunity to show what you know and demonstrate the hard work you’ve been putting in. Take this seriously, come prepared, and give your best effort.

Parents thank you for making sure your student is present, on time, and ready. Being here matters. Effort matters. This is a big step in your child’s academic journey.

To our students thank you for showing up, staying focused, and giving it everything you have. That’s what Eagle Pride is all about.

Let’s have a strong week, Eagles.

Huge congratulations to our PHS Choir and Mr. Douglas for bringing home ALL 1’s for the first time in years! Your hard work, passion, and dedication are paying off in a BIG way.

Keep soaring, Eagles—we’re proud of you!

Pasadena Early College High School was proud to host our “Claim Your Spot” Pasadena Early College High School (PECHS) Meeting, and we are thrilled by the outstanding turnout from our incoming students and families.

It was truly exciting to see our cafeteria filled with engaged parents and students eager to learn more about the opportunities PECHS offers. Families asked thoughtful questions, connected with our staff, and took important steps toward beginning their Early College journey with confidence.

We are grateful for the trust our new PECHS parents place in Pasadena High School and for their commitment to supporting their students as they take on the challenge of earning college credit while still in high school. Your presence and participation made the evening a tremendous success.

We look forward to welcoming the PECHS Class of 2030 and partnering with you for a strong, successful start.

Our goal is not court involvement it is student success. We want every student in class, learning, and on track for graduation. If your child is struggling with attendance, please contact the school counselor our Assistant Principal so we can help early.
