We want all students to have the tools to be successful through their educational journey and life afterwards. My door is always open if you need anything at all. 

In this week's PPS Pulse: Flag-raising at Grant honors Native Americans; tips for flu and cold season

Sen. Ron Wyden wanted to hear questions from students, and he went to the right place last week when he held a forum in the Franklin High School auditorium.
