In this episode of The PHPS Difference, Lauren Marold and Becky Barrett take a closer look at the PHPS admissions journey—what it means to apply into our community and, when the time is right, apply out to the next best-fit school for a child.
The conversation features Laura Holthouser, PHPS Director of Admissions, along with parent voices Kendall Murphey and Judge Platt, who share honest reflections on navigating admissions, trusting the process, and making decisions grounded in what’s best for students.
Together, they offer a thoughtful look at how PHPS partners with families, supports students who learn differently, and approaches admissions with care, clarity, and integrity—every step of the way.
A reassuring, insightful listen for families beginning—or already walking—the admissions journey.
