A Dynamic Inspired Ambitious Compassionate
Payette High School
“Proud to be a Pirate!”
The warmest of greetings to all reading this message! Whether you are a member of Pirate Nation, or someone interested in all that Payette High School has to offer, welcome.
We here at Payette High are bursting with pride that we are the perfect size to offer the opportunities of a large school yet retain the personal attention to students and collegiality normally reserved for smaller schools.
We are grateful to be in such a unique position. PHS offers robust and diverse CTE programs for a school of our size. Students have the opportunity to graduate with certifications and first-hand experiences in nursing, welding, childhood development, business, and culinary arts. In an ever-evolving market, these 21st Century skills are vital and will serve them well in all future pursuits, be it: college, the military, or direct participation in the workforce. Our talented staff, rigorous curriculum, and relationships with vital partners see each student well prepared to leave high school, with a post-secondary plan in place, and often underway, when they graduate.
Payette High School also provides many of the traditional activities and opportunities for high school students. We have 18 varsity sports teams that compete throughout the year. Our band programs, both marching and jazz, are well-regarded. The choir performs across the Treasure Valley and our theatre program fills the auditorium. We boast enriching and competitive national organizations such as FFA, DECA, FCCLA, as well as dozens of student clubs.
If your child is lucky enough to attend Payette High School, we thank you for trusting us with what you hold most precious. We take our role in their development and growth very seriously and look forward to our partnership with you. I feel fortunate to be a part of the Payette High School Family, and I am so very Proud to be a Pirate!.
