Changes to PHS This Year

From Seth Friedman's note on Facebook, which was much too informative to not have it posted on here as well. ;) All credit goes to him for gathering this useful info. Thank you, Seth!

The following information has been gathered from a variety of sources and is being consolidated here:

- The most blatant change is that school will be starting at 8:30 AM (with First Bell at 8:25 AM) and ending at 3:35 PM.
- The bus routes have changed, as that was the reason for changing the start and end times.
- Food prices have changed to $1.50 for breakfast and $2.50 for lunch, providing you're not eating from the a la carte line.
- Mr. David Williams is the new principal.
- The new assistant principal is Mr. Thomas Rollins, a former mathematics instructor from West Florida Tech.
- Mr. Beard will be teaching one(?) class of AP Psychology in addition to Dr. Robbins's classes.
- Mrs. Paedae will be teaching AP Calculus AB this year.

- Mr. Bullington will be teaching three periods of AP European History and three periods of IB History of the Americas.
- Students will only go to their Alpha[betical] homerooms occasionally, on days specified in advance.
- Second period will be extended by five minutes to make up for the lack of a normal homeroom.
- All language classes have moved to Building 5, the gym.
- Mrs. Benson will be teaching two(?) classes of IB Theory of Knowledge in place of Mr. Butcher at least first semester, if not all year.

More changes will be added as they are discovered.
