βοΈπ Today we celebrated the grand opening of the Dr. Jerry and Donna Thacker Fieldhouse, an 80,000-square-foot, multi-use facility built for students across the P-H-M community.
The Fieldhouse will support academics, athletics, and the arts, from indoor track and field to marching band, robotics, and districtwide events. This project was all completed without any increase to taxpayer rates.
Named in honor of former Superintendent Dr. Jerry Thacker and his wife Donna Thacker, the facility recognizes their decades of leadership and commitment to student success.
