"Spring Fling""Spring Fling" is a large event for Penobscot Valley students. At the beginning of every spring, there is a day dedicated to activities that students can participate in including a 3 Point Shootout, a Root Beer Chug, a Dodge Ball Tournament, etc. Points are scored for each class for winning each game. At the end of the day, the winning team is announced. George Sereyko Memorial GymnasiumGeorge Sereyko Memorial Gymnasium, or the Big Gym, is a standard sized gymnasium. The Big Gym is the separation point for HMS and PVHS. The Big Gym is technically a part of the high school, but when unoccupied, students from HMS will use it. In the winter of 2007–08, water began to leak underneath the gym floor. This caused large bubbles to form under the wood, destroying the floor. The 50-year-old floor was replaced by a new, shock absorbent floor. Local sportsPVHS students have an opportunity to play many different sports consisting of: Basketball, Baseball, Volleyball, Cheer leading, Soccer, Softball, Football and Wrestling. Varsity Basketball is a big sport for the small town school, where often parents, grandparents, friends, teachers, and towns people come out to cheer on their home team the "Howlers". There is also a local football team that plays at "Libby Field" right across from Penobscot Valley High School. This football team is in a private league, a league located in Aroostook County. Renovation of 2007In the summer of 2007, PVHS underwent a massive renovation, before this, the school had many problems. The school had a very limited heating system, leaving students forced to wear jackets into class. Roofs would leak in the cramped classrooms. The renovation gave the school a complete makeover. The schools walls and roofs were redone, leaving a state approved infrastructure. Old tiles in the hallways were replaced with newer ones. The renovation left the school more atheistically pleasing. The old Workshop room, abandoned, was transformed into a new music building. Before the renovation, students had to walk outside into a separate building to go to their music classes. Under the hood changes included an advanced heating system, with a digital thermostat in every room. Solar panels were also installed into the main building during 2008 to lower the cost of electricity. "The Portables""The Portables", are a series of portable classrooms connected by a covered boardwalk. Several district services are housed in the portables. PVHS is the only school known to have a boardwalk that goes entirely along the portable class rooms. See also
