PHS alumni, let's fill up this message board for Mrs. "U"! Roy Denton, Class of 1960

Mrs. "U":
Thanks for being a great teacher. I believe you are a big part of why I love to read today. I really never went to the library and read books until high school. After having you, I started reading more and more. I then went on to share this with my three sons. Each one of them love to read and have done well in life. I believe that reading was a great part of making me what I am and what they have become.
Thanks again with love.
Sandra (Sandy Ellis) Graber
P.S. I even went on to college in my 40's and graduated. I became a teacher in Business Ed.

Dear Mrs. U ~~
I love you so much for believing in me!!! I will never forget your generosity towards me both as a student and as an adult. It was some of the best times of my life to work with you as the Editor of the Hillcrest in 1966, along with my best friend, Penny Fitzpatrick. What fun we all had!!
By the way, Penny and I still correspond and get together with Anne, Joanne, and Brenda as often as we can. You are truly a legend and an icon of PHS!!!! And to work with you again the past few years as I substitute taught at PHS was just awesome!
I live in MO now, and Clifton and I pastor a great church here. I miss the school as much as I miss my family!!
Congratulations!!
