• PHS won the KDFW Fox 4 News 2007 "My School is Cool" video competition. Schools were invited to send in a video stating why their school was "cool", from which Fox 4 staff chose ten finalists. Fox 4 viewers were then invited to vote on the winning school; PHS defeated such larger schools as Dallas Bryan Adams, Coppell, and Richardson Lake Highlands in the final tally. (PHS took second to Mesquite Poteet in the 2008 contest.)
