Tutoring assistance is given by fellow PVHS Wildcat students who are members of our AP program, CSF (California Scholarship Federation) or NHS (National Honor Society). There is also a supervising teacher available. Please open the file to view a run down of our program.
Tutoring is available every week, Monday through Thursday, except on minimum days. Should there be a change, we will do our best to inform students by way of PA system and/or notices posted on main media center doors.
