Thank you to all who have purchased a 2025 edition of The Patriot! Photojournalism students have been hard at work, putting the finishing touches on the yearbook, which will soon go to Balfour to be published. Since our yearbook is a fall delivery book, it usually arrives around the first couple of weeks in August and will be distributed shortly thereafter. If you have not yet purchased a yearbook, you may still do so through this week, or check back to see if any copies are available when school starts in August. Thanks, again, for supporting our yearbook!
Thursday was National Principal's Day so Patrick Henry High School would like to give a big shout out to our fearless leaders, Dr. Tim Duncan and Ms. Sarah Helton, for going above and beyond to make our school the greatest school. Happy Principal's Day to you both!
