The Pirate’s Code
Be the Pirate. Live the Code.
At Payette High School, the Pirate’s Code helps define who we are and how we show up for ourselves, our school, and each other. The Pirate’s Code is more than a set of expectations, it reflects the culture, character, and pride of Pirate Nation.
Every learner has the opportunity to lead, grow, and make a positive impact. The Pirate’s Code helps create a school environment where learners feel safe, connected, challenged, and supported.
