Bearcat Brief

PPHS Newsletter

August 31, 2026

🧡🖤 From the Principal | Map Testing This Week

Bearcat families,

We have another great week ahead at PPHS!

This week, our students will participate in MAP testing, which gives our teachers important information about what students know, how they are growing, and where they may need additional support.

Please help your Bearcat come prepared by getting a good night's sleep, eating breakfast, arriving on time, and encouraging them to give their best effort. MAP isn't about a grade, it helps us understand our students better so we can provide the instruction and support they need to grow.

As always, our goal is simple: show up, work hard, and get better every day.

Friday Nights Start on Monday. Preparation Creates Performance.

A huge shoutout to Coach Price for the fantastic job he does leading our Cross Country program.

Our runners put in a tremendous amount of work that often happens when most of us aren't watching.

Coach Price and these student-athletes are a perfect example of our campus msssage:

🏈 BEARCATS WIN! 21–14!

What a way to start! Our Bearcats defeated Peaster 21–14 Friday night!

And the action wasn't limited to the football field.

Our halftime show was AMAZING, brought to you by the 🎶 Pilot Point Bearcat Band, Kick Cats, and PPHS Cheer! 🎺🧡📣

Friday night was a great reminder of what makes Pilot Point special—students supporting students and our community showing up for our Bearcats!

🏈 WORRELL WAR I

PPHS vs. MINERAL WELLS

This one is about more than football.

Join us for Worrell War I as Pilot Point takes on Mineral Wells. Click on the picture for a link to the order form.

ALL PROCEEDS from this event will be split between: Victims of the Ross Fire & The Jenkins Family of East Bernard.

Two communities. One game. A much bigger purpose.

Bearcats, let's show up and show what community looks like. 🧡🖤🏈

📚 INSIDE PPHS

One of the most powerful things students can do for their success is also one of the simplest:

Be here. Every day. On time.

When students miss school, they aren't just missing assignments—they're missing instruction, conversations, collaboration, practice, and opportunities to ask questions.

Every day matters. Every class matters.

Attendance matters.

Thank you, families, for helping us make being at school a priority.
