Last semester we learned that PHS would be the only high school in the state to host an NFL sponsored event. Today we had 800 PHS students plus an additional 600 students from other high schools attend the NFL student athlete conference. Students heard from former NFL players about their experiences in high school, college and the pros. They also heard about the business side of football. In addition, they were able to attend a college fair. Other events included students hearing from current and former players discussing how they overcame obstacles and adversities. And the guest speaker was James Brown. It was a busy and tiring day but I was still able to get a picture with Mr. Brown. He was very genuine and truly shared a wonderful message with everyone. We are very lucky to have been able to host this event; it was well worth the hard work.
