On December 4, 2008, Usnews.com released their latest list of "Best High Schools" in the United States.

At the beginning of every spring, there is a day dedicated to activities that students can participate in including a 3 Point Shootout, a Root Beer Chug, a Dodge Ball Tournament, etc.

The Big Gym is technically a part of the high school, but when unoccupied, students from HMS will use it.

PVHS students have an opportunity to play many different sports consisting of basketball, baseball, volleyball, cheerleading, soccer, Softball, and wrestling.

The school had a very limited heating system, leaving students forced to wear jackets into class.

The schools walls and roofs were redone, leaving a state approved infrastructure.

Under the hood changes included an advanced heating system, with a digital thermostat in every room.
