As Principal of Patrick Henry High School, I would like to welcome you to the Patrick Henry Local Schools website. This website has been prepared in the hope that it will become a valuable resource for you and provide you with school news and information. 

Here at PHHS, our staff set high academic standards for our students. Our staff works diligently to create an environment where all students discover their personal best in every opportunity. The family of Patrick Henry High School, the Patrick Henry Local School District, and our Patrick Henry community have a common goal to go above and beyond what is best for our students. While we love celebrating each victory, whether on a season by season basis through our athletics or many other various organizations, or on a daily basis within the classroom, we also know the importance of assisting our students to display perseverance during those tough times during a student’s academic adventure. 

The student handbook contains information that is important and useful. I urge you to read it thoroughly and thoughtfully. These guidelines are written in order to create an environment conducive to learning and a school where all feel safe and secure. The expectations for behavior written in our Code of Conduct are based on the essential value of respecting the rights and dignity of each other. Our school can continue to be an outstanding community when all adults treat all students with respect, when all students treat all adults with respect and when all students treat each other with respectful and responsible behavior. When all of us work together with each individual doing his or her part, we can truly make a difference. I will always encourage you to accept the challenge to be a model of respectful behavior.

Your high school years provide you with the wonderful opportunity to discover your unique talents and gifts. One way to learn is through the variety of clubs, organizations and teams that exist at Patrick Henry High School. There are outstanding athletic teams, musical programs, clubs, drama and academic groups that will help you to learn more about yourself and to develop friendships that may last a lifetime.

Take a chance by getting involved and trying something new. High school is unlike any other time in your life. Study hard, challenge yourself, set high goals and enjoy yourself. We are very fortunate to have a great school with great students and teachers. Make this time some of the most important and productive years of your life.

The adults who work here will offer you help along the journey. Please ask for our assistance. We want to be a part of your success. Along with the faculty and staff, I wish you an exciting and successful year.

If you have any questions throughout the school year please call the school at 419-274-3015 or send me an email at [email protected].

Go Patriots!

Mr. Robert A. Luderman III
