Parkston HOSA is hosting a blood drive on Wednesday, January 7th from 9:00 AM - 1:45 PM in the Armory Classroom. We need your help! Please sign up online to donate or email Carmen Bartells to find a time. Did you know that roughly about 62% of the US population is eligible to donate blood, but only about 3% actually do annually? That means 97% of eligible donors are not donating! Why not be part of the movement in 2026 and try?! We appreciate every single person who has ever supported our drives, but this isn't about HOSA. This is about the fact that every 2 seconds in the US, somebody needs blood or platelets. It's a small act with a BIG IMPACT. 🩸💞 Thanks in advance!

ATTENTION: PHS Parents & Community Members - We invite parents and community members to share their thoughts by completing a short CTE survey. This survey gathers feedback on awareness and understanding of the Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs offered to our middle and high school students. If your child has taken a FACS course from Mrs. Kafka, a business/computer course from Mr. Hockett, ag course from Ms. Ackerman, or a media course from Mr. Kinnenberg they have taken a CTE course!

Please take a few minutes to complete this survey by clicking the link below. This data helps determine federal funding to our state’s CTE programs. We appreciate your time and input!
