Pete the Bearded Dragon made himself right at home in PHS Biology class! 🦎✨
As students began their unit on evolution, Mrs. Pate introduced Pete with a lesson on his species’ characteristics, natural habitat, and the adaptations that help bearded dragons survive in the wild. The class also explored the variety of morphs and discussed how sustainable these reptiles are in their natural environment.
Pete—a longtime pet of the Pate family—loves spending time with his humans and even goes on walks with a leash! And his golden scales? Just another way he shows off his Tiger Pride! 🐯💛

Pryor Middle School Students Explore Samurai History at the Philbrook Museum
Earlier this month, Pryor Middle School students in the English Language Arts Enrichment classes traveled to the Philbrook Museum in Tulsa to experience the Samurai Exhibit. Teacher Jessica Henry shared that students were amazed by the intricate details of the Samurai warriors on display — especially the realistic models featuring warriors mounted on horses.
"The armor was amazing, and the way the masks for the horses were made to look like dragons was incredible," Henry said. "Being able to see all of this in person really helped students understand the history of Japan and how the Samurai warriors came to be."
The trip gave students a unique, hands-on connection to the historical and cultural topics they are studying in class, bringing history vividly to life.
Inside the Classroom | Learning in Action
Seniors in Mrs. Hendrickson’s AP Literature and Composition class brought a poetic twist to March Madness!
Students became poets themselves, writing original poems and competing in a classroom poetry bracket. Then, they picked up pen and ink again to analyze their work, highlighting the literary techniques that transform words into lyric art.
Creativity, competition, and critical thinking—all in one lesson! #PryorTigerStrong
