					<description><![CDATA[In a special opening Convocation service on Friday, August 9 in the chapel, new students were presented with a bilingual Bible containing their native language in one column and English parallel to it. Students will use these Bibles throughout their years at Pan Am - in the classroom, in worship, and in their time of personal reflection. We were honored to have two special guests join us today – Mr. Bert Alvarez, who worked at Pan Am from 1983-1986, and Esteban Gonzalez, PPAS Class of 2019, who will be attending TAMUK in the fall. Both shared encouraging words and advice with our students, and we are grateful for their participation and support.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Who doesn't remember their high school prom? At Pan Am, we strive to expose our international study body to experiences, like pep rallies, homecoming, and the prom, that give them a taste of U.S. culture. However, unlike traditional public schools where the prom is primarily an event for juniors and seniors, our prom is open to students from all grade levels. 

Each year, the junior class works hard months in advance to plan the event, as a tribute to the graduating seniors. This year, the "Memories are Forever" themed prom, held on Saturday, April 27, did not disappoint. Prom King and Queen, David Araujo and Allison Cabanzo, and their friends and classmates will certainly cherish the memories forever!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Rev. Dr. Doug Dalglish has announced his resignation as President of Presbyterian Pan American School (PPAS) in order to return to pastoral ministry. The Board of Trustees made several changes to ensure a healthy period of transition before an installed President is sought.

Mr. David Salyer, Presbyterian Elder and well-known attorney in Galveston, was elevated from Vice Chair of the Board of Trustees to Board Chair. Mr. Kim Warner, Presbyterian Elder and former Vice President of Texas Presbyterian Foundation, was named Interim President of the School on a part-time basis. Mr. Warner has been associated with PPAS for 26 years, with the last few years as a member of the Board of Trustees and Chair of the Board at the time of this transition.

Dr. James Matthews, President of PPAS from 1997 to 2012, has been retained part-time and will focus his efforts on relations with major donors and student recruitment. 

We are grateful to Dr. Dalglish for his faithful service to PPAS over the past 6 1/2 years, and we wish him success in his future endeavors. And, we look forward to an exciting 2019 as we continue in our mission to educate and empower our students from 12 countries for leadership in the global community.]]></description>

All proceeds will benefit Brooke’s Blossoming Hope Foundation - inspired by a local girl, Brooke Hester, who lost her battle with stage IV Neuroblastoma cancer in 2015. Great job, Lady Eagles and Coach Cantu!]]></description>
