Getting a flu vaccine is a great way to protect yourself, your family, and your community from flu. The more people vaccinated; the more people protected. Patrick Henry will hold a FREE Flu Shot Clinic on Friday, October 20, 2023 from 8:30-9:30 AM for students. A signed consent form is required.
Happy National Coaches Day! "Coaches represent leadership, mentors, and inspiration. Often, a coach's words will echo through an athlete's mind for years to come. During difficult times, the words motivate them forward. Rarely do these coaches even know the impact they've had on an athlete until many decades pass. In an academic setting, coaches lead individuals and teams in speech, chess, drama, and many other types of competition." Thank you to all of our Coaches at Patrick Henry who help shape the lives of our students!

Meet Team 6-3! Recently, a CPO with Orthotic and Prosthetic Specialties, shared how she uses the Design Process to develop AFOs (Ankle Foot Orthoses) for her patients. She answered questions and made a live cast of student's leg - just like she would if she were designing a real AFO! This was a great real-world experience for Team 6-3!

Yesterday, members of Let’s Skate (a local skateboarding advocacy group) and city leaders broke ground on the Barb Iverson Skate Plaza. The new skate plaza is named after the late Barb Iverson, who taught English at Patrick Henry Middle School for over 30 years.
Xavier Pastrano, who is currently an English teacher at Lincoln High School, had this to say: “It’s pretty amazing that we have this skatepark being named after a teacher, and I think it speaks volumes about the quality of educators we have here in Sioux Falls, and also the true meaning of being a teacher.”
Barb played a huge roll in a lot of students lives, and although she is no longer with us, her legacy will live on for many years through this state of the art concrete skate park.
