Our final thanks goes to the myriad of volunteers involved in the Class of 2013 "Red Carpet Affair." From the dynamic duo emcees, teachers Patty Baugher and Gideon Twigg, to the senior parents, underclassmen parents, PMHS thespian society, NHS and NJHS students – everyone put in a lot of hard work and time planning, setting up and cleaning up. We are grateful and appreciative of these volunteers who spent endless hours putting our event together. This dedicated group effort by the parents, students, teachers and administration at Patterson Mill High School was nothing short of amazing. The Class of 2013 will carry this memory with them for years to come!

Thank you for all your support!
