Pompano Beach High School shows its commitment to reading by providing every one of our students with a summer reading novel. We know that reading enhances learning in every subject area by providing background knowledge, expanding vocabulary, and stimulating thinking.
We are excited to offer our students a choice of books for their
grade level. All current 9th, 10th and 11th graders have the opportunity
to make their selections at school. Novels will be delivered to students
before the school year is over. Books will be collected in the media
center when students return to school in August. If a student fails
to return the book checked out to him/her, a financial obligation
will
be incurred. (Ninth graders have already picked up their novel during
orientation.)
On our website you will find a variety of activities to accompany
the novel. Each activity is designed to deepen comprehension and
encourage
students to make connections between the text and their world.
Parents can help their child to enjoy summer reading by asking questions about the book, a favorite character, a confusing part, a favorite phrase or passage, or just a summary of what has been read. Some parents may even want to enhance their own summer by reading the book, too!
Be sure to click on the link to see our summer reading activities. If you have any questions, please call our Reading Coach, Susan Atlas, at 754-322-2000.
Parents give us your feedback. Complete the 16th Annual Customer Survey by clicking on the link below. Deadline for completion is May 14th.
2010 -2011 PBHS curriculum guide is now available online. Students and parents: please take some time to look at the guide and choose your courses wisely.
Many thanks to Mrs. Atlas,
our reading coach, and our Web Design II students, Monica Thacker & Kevin
Kemp, for designing our new reading website.

PBHS is a Blue Ribbon School
U.S.
Secretary of Education Arne Duncan announced that Pompano Beach High
School was officially selected as a Blue Ribbon School. Pompano Beach High
School is one of 264 public schools in the nation, three of the public
schools in the state of Florida, and one of two in Broward County
recognized as a Blue Ribbon School.
"The award honors public and private elementary, middle, and high schools
that are either academically superior, or have made dramatic gains in
student achievement and helped close gaps in achievement among minority
and disadvantaged students. Each year since 1982, the U.S. Department of
Education has sought out schools where students attain and maintain high
academic goals. Using standards of excellence, as evidenced by student
achievement measures and the characteristics known from research to
exemplify school quality, the Department celebrates schools, including
those that beat the odds."
Congratulations to the students, teachers, and staff for "earning" this very prestigious award.
Mr. Gordon, Principal
U.S. News & World Report - in collaboration with School Evaluation Services, a K-12 education and data research and analysis business that provides parents with education data on schoolmatters.com - analyzed academic and enrollment data from more than 21,000 public high schools to find the very best across the country. These top schools were placed into gold, silver, bronze, or honorable mention categories. In Broward County, five schools were named as silver medal winners: Atlantic Technical Center, Nova High, Pompano Beach High, Stranahan High and William T. McFatter Technical Center.

Attendance Policy during a Nine Week Period
Students are required to complete a form with a parent/guardian’s
signature to excuse an absence, tardy, or early release from school
within two days of the students return to school, not counting the
day the student returns.
Phone calls will not be accepted.
If an absence form is NOT completed on time, the absence will remain unexcused. If the absence is unexcused, the teacher has no responsibility to provide the student with make-up work.
Tardies and early releases will also be considered unexcused without proper documentation.
A student who exceeds the allotted time (440 minutes per class/1760 minutes per nine weeks) may receive an F in the class. These accrued minutes are a combination of absences, tardies, and early releases.
Exceeding the allowable minutes requires the completion of the appeals process. The student and parent/guardian must complete the appeal form along with appropriate documentation and submit to the front office.
This form will be reviewed by the attendance appeals committee. The committee determines if the absence, tardy, or early release will be excused or will remain unexcused. The student/parent/guardian will be informed of the decision.
Forms may be submittted betwen 6:30 to 7:
00 am, during both lunches and from 3:05 pm to 3:45 pm.
All forms are available in the main office.
