Congratulations to the Petrides High School Class of 2022! 

We salute our 101 high school graduates!  And, celebrate their accomplishments - 47 of them earned an honor roll GPA, attaining an average of 90 or better; 31 students will be remembered for their stellar scholarship with their name in gold letters on the Principal’s Permanent Honor roll.  For the first time in Petrides history, EACH of our graduates received a college acceptance and most have chosen to continue their formal education in colleges and universities across the country in the fall.  One has made the noble decision to serve our country by joining the Navy.  They were offered over 7 million dollars in scholarship money!    

Monday, June 29^th is the last day of school for students.   

• It’s a full day of school for Elementary and Middle School students.  
• High School students should report to pick up report cards/transcripts and other end of year documents.  Seniors should pick up diploma and graduation photos also. 
  
  High school report card distribution, textbook & device collection will take place in the Student Cafeteria between 8:00 - 9:00 am.  Any students arriving between 9:00 am, and 2:00 pm should report to the main office to retrieve end of year documents and return textbooks and devices.   
• ALL students should return any outstanding textbooks and books borrowed from the School Library. 
• Any students graduating out of our school should return DOE issued devices, including iPads and Chromebooks. 
• If necessary, families may pick up report cards on Tuesday, June 28^th from 8:00 am to 2:00 pm.  Please note that our campus will be closed from June 29^th through July 4^th.
