If you were out in the community on Saturday afternoon you may have seen Patrick Henry students volunteering at various community events. The annual Fall Festival at Gage Elementary was a great place to see all the latest Halloween costumes and a chance for the Gage Gators to come and play festival games run by Patrick Henry’s ROTC and Community Club members.

Over at Junior Seau field in La Mesa, the home of the San Carlos Patriots, there was the Challenger Division game put on with the help of members of the SRHS Falcons, GHHS Eagles, GHS Foothillers, and PHHS Patriots Football teams. KUSI was at the event to record the action.

Coach Mayisha is proud to be the head coach for the San Carlos Patriots Challenger team. It’s a team made up of students with disabilities coming together to play flag football with other students. Last month, PHHS football players and coaches showed up to play with the Challenger team.

Coach Mayisha stated, “It warms my heart that those boys took time out of their weekend to come play against us.” The Challenger team has three Patrick Henry students and one alumni playing on the team.

Coach Mayisha also stated, “I love the way Patrick Henry’s football team came out to support their classmates. When I spoke to Head Varsity Coach JT O’Sullivan and Head JV Coach Teshawn about it, they were 100% on board. That speaks volumes about PHHS, the Henry coaches, and the entire football team. I appreciate all you do.”
