Beauty In Change: A Note from the Editor-in-Chief
In our final issue, we pay tribute to someone very special.
To Samantha (Samii) Soriya Thein, we honor you, not just for a life lived, but for a life that touched many. We love you Samii.
Our final issue reflects on change. There is beauty in moments of transition that are often missed. Sit quietly and appreciate the unfinished canvas of your life. We often rush to see the finished product and focus on “what will be”, but the mess and chaos of change, while uncomfortable and even painful, can be also beautiful. Change can uproot us from what we know, takes us out of our safe place, but it also gives us the opportunity to transform from the before and create the after.
We also invite you to look through the gallery of artwork from talented students in the Graphic Design Class collected by Cody Jones. Finally, read Madison McGarvey’s reflection in her senior letter.
The Warrior SHIELD wishes every senior the very best as you move forward in life.
And to the rest of our student body, see you back next year!
Happy Readings,
Giselle Kendall
Editor-in-Chief

A message from the Presidents:
Hey Warriors! My name is Zoe Anderson, and I am one of your Co-Presidents/Co-Editors in Chief for The Warrior SHIELD this year. I am so excited to get The SHIELD off the ground for this upcoming school year. This group has already expanded significantly, considering we’ve only been a club for one school year.
The dedication of our journalists is unlike any other club, and I hope this year we can continue to grow and highlight more topics. Though we may not realize it, our writing has already impacted our campus and community through the topics and people they have showcased. In a world where there seems to be so many things dividing us, writing and stories are something that can help unify and uplift people.
I hope that every person on our campus can gain and learn something from our work, not only about others around them, but about themselves.
Let’s have a great school year!
My name is Madison McGarvey and I am one of journalism’s Co-President’s for the 2025-2026 school year. I am a senior involved in all sorts of extracurricular clubs, sports, and advanced classes.
My goal this year is to bring insight to the campus and bring a spotlight to those who do not usually get the opportunity to be highlighted. Whether they are clubs, classes, teachers, or even admin, everyone deserves the chance to share their story!
I look forward to this year and our future publications. I hope you all enjoy reading our articles written by fellow students at PHS and learn a little bit more about those you share the campus with!
