PAHRUMP VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL

Please meet one of our campus monitors, Gina!

“Hello, PVHS Family and community! My name is Gina De Angelis-Beckham, a proud Pahrump Valley High alumni. I've worked for the Nye County School District for about six years now, five of the years being a Campus Monitor at PVHS. I am also a first year Hope Squad Advisor, my job allows me dual roles which I'm passionate about helping staff and students feel safe and supported, seen, I get to help them navigate through some challenges and also celebrate their strengths. I have a serving heart and I'm passionate about mental health and making sure people feel included, connected, and confident.
I'm currently pursuing my Bachelor's of Social work to deepen how to understand people and help families thrive in this community.
Out of school/work flow, I'm a wife and mom to a big blended family of 8 children💝🙏. My husband and I stay busy with our kids, we enjoy the outdoors, doing home projects, games, lots of journaling, laughter, lots of music, we are part of Fidelis Christian Church I sing for the worship team, singing is a huge outlet for me.
I enjoy walking the halls each day and being able to be light in dark spaces and just give back to a place that I once ran to as my safety place on some days. These kids are our next generation, our next leaders, let's raise the bar with love and kindness.”

10th Grade English students worked in crisis-mode today: too many people, not enough resources, and they had to decide…who stays and who gets voted out of the shelter to ensure survival. In assigned roles, they debated, justified, and reached a group decision. This gave the students a great way to practice civil disagreement and ethical reasoning. A powerful warm-up to the themes they’ll soon explore in Lord of the Flies. #pvhs #pahrumpvalleyhighschool #pvhslife #trojanscholars #futureleaderspvhs

Facing Modern Addictions Mrs. Martin’s psychology students explored the many addictions our society faces today — from social media and fast food to vaping, alcohol, and more. They created powerful posters showing how these addictions impact the mind, body, and society. Last week, students voted on the posters that best captured their topic based on background, effects, legal issues, and overall impact. #Trojans #PVHS #Psychology #HealthAwareness #trojanpride #trojannation

Check out these great opportunities for your kids to explore some great places in Nevada! See Ms.Bond in room 39 to sign up!

Creativity Across the Curriculum at PVHS! From science posters and moon maps to fantasy island creations and award-winning art, our students are showing that learning comes alive through imagination, exploration, and hands-on creativity. Every hallway tells a story of curiosity, learning, and Trojan pride. #pvhs #pahrumpvalleyhighschool #trojannation #trojanpride #valleystrong #pahrumppride

In Mr. Nygaard’s class, students are learning about fractures and healing. Students learned about the different types of bone fractures and how each one heals. Through a hands-on lab, they cut and labeled paper “bones” to model breaks and explore how the body repairs itself after injury. Science comes to life when learning is hands-on! #trojans #pvhs #scienceclass #handsonlearning #scienceisfun

Teachers and the cheer team are preparing early this am for the pep assembly today for HOMECOMING! It’s all the little things that teachers and students do every day above and beyond in a million different ways at PVHS that makes it so special! #pvhs #pahrumpvalleyhighschool #pvhssports #trojanathletics #trojanspirit #Homecoming2025
