These past few months have been a rollercoaster of emotions for immigrants and immigrant families. With the arrival of ICE near San Francisco it has amplified the struggles that many are currently facing. People are currently on high alert of their surroundings for any vehicle or person of ICE that will possibly lead to life changing events. None have been more attentive to such details than that of our high school students.


If you follow anyone from Pitt on social media that has an immigrant background , it is 80% likely you have seen some sort of advocacy of personal rights or information for ICE whereabouts. Many students have come out and said on their instagram notes, “thank you for letting us know where ICE was.” What may feel like a small click of a finger and post on a story stating “ICE is near..,” is truly saving the lives of many Pittsburg residents. Seems like immigrants rights is something all of us can agree on.
According to student Hector Alfaro, “I think it’s a wonderful thing to see so many young people united under the same cause.” One thing is certain here at Pitt, everyone knows what our school is based on is community. And community fights for one another.

Activities around PHS

Here around Pittsburg High we always have many activities that build community, friendships, and sets a perfect vibe. You might be wondering what makes PHS different from other schools when it comes to activities. Our events at Phs are like no other with our multi culture community every event is popping. We have very different and much more activities throughout the year unlike many other local schools. 

Some events Phs hosts that I have never seen before are events like our water fight at the beginning of the school year and our freshman bbq tailgate party featuring free hamburgers, hotdogs, drinks, prizes, games, and much more. These events are very good community building experiences especially for the freshmen that are new to the school. Our school is also hosting a Dia De Los Muertos celebration featuring food and activities that are all Dia De Los Muertos themed or related. There will also be folklorico groups from Phs and groups from the community dancing. Of course we have football games just like any other high school but our games are like no other school’s games that i’ve been to. Our student section is always lit with much pride. Don’t forget we have also one of the best award winning marching bands around. The half time performance is always very entertaining and amusing. Our band plays popular songs for example “tv off” by kendrick lamar and “I got 5 on it” by the luniz our band always puts on a wonderful show every game. We also have food vendors that no other schools have such as skiploni’s pizza and pnb smash burger that serve delicious food. The environment at every single Phs event is always welcoming, eventful, and most importantly fun and community building.

Do you like turn based games, strategically planning, immersive gameplay, and great storytelling? If so, Expedition 33 is one you should definitely try. It’s a new strategy game where you take your time to plan each move, instead of rushing into battle.

In Expedition 33, you lead a team of explorers into a dangerous mission into a strange new world. You’ll face tough enemies, take on a leadership role, explore mysterious landmarks unknown to you, and make changes that will alter the storyline. The turn based style of the game means that you don’t have to rush your moves, you strategically plan them, outsmarting your opponent, picking your best attacks, and finding smart ways to win, ultimately progressing you into this immersive story.

Think of it as Pokemon, instead it’s more realistic with more mechanics and new things to learn. What makes Expedition 33 stand out from other turn based games is how it mixes story and strategy. You get to know the characters and make decisions that affect what happens next. Every battle feels different, and the game rewards players that think ahead of time and work as a team.
