You may have noticed that there are many areas of the building that are getting murals painted by talented students. Images of famous painters and artists are by the art rooms, a patriotic mural of the American flag with the slogan, “freedom is not free,” with the official seals of the branches of the U.S. military prominently displayed, has just been completed by the ROTC room, and even Mr. Walker’s classroom has a mostly completed homage to famous figures from African-American history.

The patriotic mural was painted by senior, Adonis Jimenez. He said, “I just wanted to give the ROTC students and the rest of PHS a symbol of what we strive for in the ROTC program.”

Both the mural by the art room and the one in African-American History classroom were painted by Robyn Henderson. She said of her work, “I love art. It is what has kept me sane at school. I just wanted to use my art to leave my mark on the halls of PHS.”The murals all have beautified our halls and classrooms. They add a cheerful presence to the school, a place we can be proud to go everyday.
