Serving Clovis, Portales and the Surrounding Communities
Thank You Parents
During parent/teacher conferences 324 people signed in representing 85 percent of our students. Principal Steve Harris expressed his appreciation for all who came to visit about their children’s grades. He states that by parents and teachers working with students as a team effort, students receive the most from their education experience at PJHS.
No School Monday
All Portales district schools will be closed Monday in observation of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. Dr. Jim Holloway, superintendent, encourages students and their families to research the contributions King made to ending segregation in our nation.

GEAR-UP Educational Trip
