For all students, it is a chance to rest, reset, and return ready for what comes next. Spring brings warmth. Memories. A reminder that the finish line is getting closer. We hope your days are filled with sunshine, laughter and a little time to breathe. #PVHSTrojans #SpringBreak

Our students took a deep dive into anatomy by dissecting a sheep’s heart, exploring the structure and function of one of the body’s most important organs. From identifying chambers to understanding blood flow, this lab brought science to life in a powerful (and memorable!) way.

Upcoming Events at PVHS!

🎉PVHS Home & Hallways Spotlights! This series highlights staff members who also have students at PVHS. This Week: Mrs. Veloz, Aiden and Olivia Mrs. Veloz writes: “It is truly is an honor to serve as Principal at Pahrump Valley High School, with the significant roots my husband and his family have here, and now being enveloped in my own childrens' journeys. These years are fleeting but foundational - creating stories and experiences to look back and reminisce on, generationally, forever. Having already seen one of my children cross this stage as a graduate, I am struck by how quickly time moves. I am currently preparing to watch my son close his own chapter here as a senior, while embracing three more years with my youngest, as she makes her mark on these halls. Being "Principal Mom" gives me a front-row seat to their growth that I don't take for granted. It allows me to see our school culture through two lenses: as a leader dedicated to every student’s success, and as a parent rooted in this community’s legacy. I am thankful also that while I get to watch my kids grow and thrive, they also get to see me as a leader: problem-solving, engaging in challenges, and finding joy in my work. The joy of purpose and hard work is what I want for them in their lives. Whether I am handing out a diploma or cheering from the sidelines, my goal is the same—to ensure that the "Trojan Family" is a place where all our children, including my own, feel inspired to reach their full potential.” #pvhs #pahrumpvalleyhighschool #trojannation #trojanpride #valleystrong #pahrumppride
