Pearland Football 2020

A Word from Our Principal . . .

ELCOME TO The Rig, home of the Pearland Oilers! Friday Night
WLights is one of the biggest traditions in the state of Texas where the
Pride of Pearland Band, Oiler Cheerleaders, Prancers, Oiler football team,
and community 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 march-
ing band as we come together to support our football team.

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

John Palombo, Principal

A Word from Our Athletic Director . . .

Trusting that all are safe and well during these unprecedented, volatile
times. It has been a long, arduous journey since this past March, but it
is with great pleasure and excitement to welcome you to the 2020-2021
school year. The anticipation of this fall and the uncertainty of the fall
season has been like no other. While the start of the school year has been
different in so many ways for students, teachers, administrators, staff,
parents, and community, it is comforting and exciting to see students and
teachers back on campuses. The challenges and the Herculean efforts
have been made by so many to be able to functionally and effectively
restart.

Like everything else, Friday nights this fall at the stadium will also look
different. However, the familiarity will be students under the lights with
opportunities to participate and perform. So to all who have had a hand in
these efforts, thank you for all you have done and continue to do to make
Pearland a special place. The rich tradition of high school football in Texas
is alive and well. Good luck to all teams, groups, and organizations. Thank Ben Pardo
you for the continued support of Pearland ISD! Enjoy the season!

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