Pleasant Hills Middle School (PHMS) houses students in grades six through eight. Our total student population for the 2024-25 school year was 819 students. Pleasant Hills Middle School was constructed in 1965. An addition and complete renovation were undertaken during the 2003 school year adding classrooms and learning spaces. PHMS has been recognized and re-designated as a Pennsylvania Don Eichhorn “School to Watch” as part of a recognition program developed by the National Forum to Accelerate Middle-Grades Reform. We strive for our students to show their Jaguar P.R.I.D.E. each day. When they do, they display preparation, respect, integrity, determination, and empathy.
