"Pioneer High School Student Heroes, Showing Others the Way"
We congratulate our students who serve at school, the Carson City community, and their country!

Heather Wright
Heather Wright, a 12th grade student at Pioneer High School, earned her rank as the cadet commander and Senior Master Sargent in the Civil Air Patrol, Nevada Wing. CAP is an arm of the US Air Force, similar to JROTC, but it is not affiliated with high schools. Heather was invited to highlight her volunteer work at a student luncheon where other PHS students in the CHS Naval JROTC participated. After graduation this year at PHS, Heather plans on working as a combat medic in the US Army. Heather has been able to fly and co-pilot several types of aircraft including an F-16 as a three year member in the Civil Air Patrol.

Shayne Jeremiah Beauford
Shayne Jeremiah Beauford, 10th grade PHS student, was elected by staff to represent Pioneer at School Board Meetings. Outside of school, he recently earned his Life rank in the Boy Scouts of America. He has plans to earn his Eagle rank soon and is working on a service project in cooperation with Pioneer High School. Shayne was featured in a Boys' Life article, in July 2016, titled: "A True Story of Scouts in Action." This article describes a heroic act where he saved his younger brother's life in a dangerous water rescue.

08/21/16 (Article from Nevada Appeal)
PHS and Carson Online student, Noah Giron, local ski cross racer, is gearing up for his second season with Team USA. 

Giron competed in the semipro North American Cup circuit in the United States and Canada. He will head to Australia where he will train with other international skiers, and he will compete in International Ski Federation events. 

Giron, a junior, is ranked in the top 10 in the United States. His goals are to compete in the World Junior Championships, the X-Games and the 2022 Olympics. After that, he hopes to race professionally. 

Giron studies online in the winter and trains at Squaw Valley five days a week. Training days are 7 to 13 hours a day and include skiing, weight lifting and conditioning. He maintains a 3.7 GPA. He welcomes sponsorships to help fund his training expenses, travel costs, and competition fees.

Dear Families, Fellow Educators, and Carson City Community Members,

We are extending a heartfelt thanks to families, K-12 staff and administrators, district office staff, and members of our community for helping our students achieve such an important milestone in their lives. 

We are proud to report that 58 seniors at Pioneer High School graduated in the class of 2016. This is the 2^nd largest graduating class in the history of Pioneer High School since the high school was established in 1998.  It is the largest group of honors, advanced, and standard high school diplomas ever issued from PHS.  Pioneer also had the school’s first dual graduate with a student earning an Associate of Science degree from WNC and an Honors High School Diploma from PHS.  Other items to note and celebrate this year included; the largest group of Jump Start, JAG, and CTE students to walk across the stage.  We also had two honors diplomas, two advanced diplomas, five Millennium Scholarships, a wrestling scholarship to Kansas, four local scholarship recipients, and five students were accepted into the United States Army, Marines, and Air Force. 

Your roles and influence as family members, educators, and members in the community to their education throughout the years has made all the difference!

Sincerely,

Jason Zona, Principal
