A Message From Your Principal

Dear Port Jervis Learning Community,

We are excited to be welcoming everyone back for the start of the 2024-2025 school year. This school year brings with it more academic space, an updated media center and new athletic fields. We are running a new bell schedule this year as well; our daily session will run from 7:30am-1:57pm. This new schedule will provide time for extended teacher collaboration and student support.  

This year will be filled with academic challenges, athletic competitions and artistic endeavors. Our faculty and staff are excited to work with your children and will provide support necessary for student success. We look forward to celebrating our students’ efforts and accomplishments as they extend themselves and push to new limits.

Student engagement improves academic performance, so as always, we encourage our learners to participate in school activities. Whether it is through sports, artistic performances, clubs, enrichment programs or community service- there are a multitude of opportunities available for all students. 

The school-home connection is critical for student success. Port Jervis City School District is now using PowerSchool. Through this app, you will be able to access all of your students' academic information. 

The PJHS team is available to you as we work to create a positive educational experience. We look forward to seeing you at our school events and working with you throughout the year!

Go PORT!

Sincerely,

Anthony Lazzaro
High School Principal
