On September 21st, Dr. Edward A. Salina, Jr, PHS Principal Iocco, and our National Honor Society (NHS) students warmly welcomed back the class of 1974 to PHS!
🎓 They guided our alumni on a high school tour, showcasing the exciting changes and growth over the years!
It was a heartwarming occasion where past and present came together, filled with stories and shared memories. The visit celebrated the legacy of the Class of `74 and the bright future ahead for our current students, highlighting the strength of community and tradition.
A big thank you to our NHS students for their hospitality and enthusiasm in making this day truly special! #ClassOf74 #plainedge #weareplainedge #plainedgepublicschools
