On behalf of the PHS and Carson Online staff, we are extending a collective thank you to families, K-12 staff and administrators, and members of our community. You have each played an important part in helping our students achieve such an important milestone in their lives.
We are proud to report that on June 4th, 56 students at Pioneer High School graduated in the class of 2019. This year will be one of the highest graduation rates for PHS since 1998. The class of 2019 earned Honors, Advanced, and Standard Diplomas. One student also earned an Associate of Arts Degree from WNC before her high school diploma. This year, PHS students earned the most scholarships in the school’s history. Students were awarded Millennium Scholarships, Nevada Promise, and 6 local scholarships. Pioneer students were accepted into the US Army, WNC, TMCC, Sierra Academy of Style, UNR, and Lake Tahoe Community College.
Pioneer students were honored in the following areas: CTE students were recognized for participation in the HOSA program in the area of Health Information Management. One PHS student scored the highest in Carson City School District in the Health Information Management category. Jobs for America’s Graduates (JAG) students were recognized for their career explorations. PHS students in the academic track of Jumpstart program earned dual college credits from WNC.
The PHS class of 2019 expressed interest in the following career fields after graduation: EMT, fire science, nursing, medicine, cosmetology, manufacturing, construction, law, law enforcement, teaching English, early childhood, social work, and professional sports.
Your roles and influence as family members, educators, and members in the community, to support their efforts throughout the years have made all the difference!
