A Word from Our Principal . . .

ELCOME TO The Rig, home of the Pearland Oilers! Friday Night Lights
Wis one of the biggest traditions in the state of Texas where the Pride of
Pearland Band, Oiler Cheerleaders, Prancers, Oiler football team, and com-
munity unite in pursuit of Victory! Although we may not always walk away
victorious, we are always there for each other. We are Pearland! I am honored
and proud to be the principal of Pearland High School where the traditions
and expectations of academic excellence, athletic dominance, and exemplary
extra-curricular continues. Our staff is determined to prepare our students for
the future in a safe, supportive environment with a world-class education and
experiences.
Walk the halls of our great school and you will understand what it means to
be a part of Oiler Family! Oiler Drive and GRIT is developed through count-
less hours of care, practice and studying. Tonight Oiler Family, let us yell with
our cheerleaders, dance with the Prancers, and stand with the marching
band as we come together to support our football team.

Our doors are always open to you to come out and support our students in
our many sports, fine arts events, and student activities. Go Oilers and never John Palombo

A Word from Our Athletic Director . . .

F RIENDS AND FANS,

Welcome to the 2017-2018 school year. It is with great anticipation that we look forward to this
year’s football season. It shall prove once again to be another exciting season in Pearland for the
Eagles and the Oilers alike. The beginning of the football season marks
a time that allows us to reminisce on the sights and sounds of past Fri-
day nights at the stadium with family and friends - the colorful banners
and flags, the bright lights, the deafenintg buzz and roar of the crowd,
the brilliant performances by band, dance, and cheer, the familiar smells
of hotdogs, nachos, and popcorn, the painful grimaces after an ear
shattering tackle, and the legendary football stories that seem to domi-
nate conversation in the fall.
Friday nights are synonymous to the rich tradition of high school
football in the state of Texas. These special nights have a unique way
of connecting and bridging the gap of past generations. All are able to
share fond high school Friday night memories. Today those experiences
are shared with your children and grandchildren. Enjoy the season.
Thank you for your continued support of Pearland ISD.

See you at the stadium!!!
Ben Pardo Ben Pardo
Athletic Director
