🦬 BUFFALOS IN ACTION: Check Out What’s Happening at PV! 💚
Our next stop is Prairie View High School, where students recently had the opportunity to explore all the ways they can get involved at PVHS!
During the Club & Activity Fair, students learned about the many clubs, organizations, and activities available to them such as Chess Club, FCCLA, FBLA, StuCo, Art Club, and several others. From discovering a new interest to finding ways to connect with others, the fair gave students a chance to see just how many opportunities there are to get involved and be part of the PVHS community.
High school is about more than what happens in the classroom, and we love seeing our Buffalos find ways to connect, participate, and make the most of their time at PV! 💚🖤
