Dear PHS Students and Families,

Welcome back to a brand-new school year! I hope this letter finds you rested, recharged, and ready for the exciting opportunities ahead.  As the school year begins, I couldn’t be more excited to have our halls filled with energy, curiosity, and the smiling faces of our students once again.

Each new school year represents a fresh start and a chance to set goals, build meaningful connections, and embrace challenges that help us grow.  Our teachers and staff have been busy preparing classrooms, planning lessons, and creating opportunities that will challenge, inspire, and support every student. Together, we will continue to nurture a culture of respect, responsibility, and resilience both inside and outside the classroom.

This year, my hope is that each student feels a strong sense of belonging here at Palestine High School. We want them to know they are valued, supported, and capable of achieving great things. And we know that happens best when families and school work hand in hand. Whether it’s attending events, cheering from the sidelines, or simply asking your child about their day, your involvement makes all the difference.

I’m truly grateful to be part of this community and to walk alongside you in guiding and supporting our students.  Thank you for trusting us with such an important role in their lives.  It is an honor for me to have the opportunity to lead PHS as the new principal.  Here’s to a year full of learning, growth, and moments that we’ll look back on with pride.

On behalf of the faculty and staff at Palestine High School, I extend a warm welcome to each of you. 

With warmest regards and wishes of an amazing school year,

 Joseph Mason
Principal
Palestine High School
