2nd Annual Poway's Got Talent Showcase
Poway's Got Talent is our inter-campus evening showcase that celebrates the diverse, multi-talented students of Poway High School and helps raise funds for vital student programs. More than 10 student ensembles, from Peer Counseling, to AVID, to the PHS Dance team will be participating.


Students will be selling the showcase tickets for $10 each, and each participating group will receive a portion of the ticket sales. This is a fantastic way to raise funds for their groups during these challenging economic times, and it will serve to bolster the "Can Do" ethic of our Poway High students.
