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.

The first annual parent appreciation night was a heartwarming event dedicated to the caring parents of the students here at Pittsburg High. The event was inspired by a parent, Ms. Nisha Garin, whose idea encouraged us to truly honor families for everything they do. Our Principal, Dr. Richardson opened the night by acknowledging parents as the “heartbeat of our school”. The night continued on to feature amazing performances from the Jazz Ensemble and Choir, along with speeches from teachers, coaches, and parents. Many parents were honored for their support in their children’s academics, as well as different programs like soccer, cheer, and football. It was more than just an event, it was the start of a new tradition that recognizes the effort parents pour into their children.
