Although our winter programs are underway, we wanted to take some time to recognize our high school fall sports and their achievements. First up, let’s share some highlights from the PHS Football program.
As a team, the PHS Varsity Football team has been honored with the title of ACADEMIC ALL-STATE! Furthermore, they are in the running as one of the TOP FOUR academic teams in the state. What an impressive accomplishment, Trojans!
Throughout their time at PHS, the Senior class has played a vital role in transforming the culture of the football program. They consistently arrived with a positive attitude and supported each other. While the immediate results may not fully reflect their efforts, the program will undoubtedly see the impact our senior class has made in the future. Our sub-varsity levels also showed remarkable progress, with huge improvements throughout the year. The Freshman team had a successful year and is eager to make their mark on Friday nights in the near future.
Individual highlights and awards from the season include:
- Carter Monette set a school record with 3 kickoff returns
- Abel Jorgensen earned All-Region recognition
Drew Rayman received 2nd team All-Conference honors
- Abel Jorgensen also earned Honorable Mention All-Conference
- Adin Young achieved Honorable Mention All-Conference
- Brayden Riley was awarded Honorable Mention All-Conference
Throughout the next week, we look forward to sharing more highlights from our fall athletic programs! GO TROJANS!

Students from Mrs. Adams and Mrs. Kordupel’s 3rd grade classes at Cooper Elementary had a great Little Dreamers field trip before Thanksgiving Break. They explored downtown Allegan and enjoyed a performance at the Gridwold. It was a wonderful day filled with educational fun for the 3rd grade Koalas.

They wrapped up the season with an exciting parent versus player game! Additionally, each player received a medal to celebrate their hard work throughout the season! 🏐
Thanksgiving traditions are so much fun! Yesterday, Cooper Elementary held their annual Pie Day. At the event, Mrs. Keorkunian (principal), read a Thanksgiving story over the intercom while students and staff shared pumpkin pie at a makeshift "table." It was a wonderful and meaningful way for the Koalas to come together and celebrate Thanksgiving.
