PPCA honors the men and women who have sacrificially served our great country so that we may wake up each day in a free land. 

Our honored veterans chose to “Be the Ones” to lay down their life so that family, friends, and strangers may live in freedom.

Be The One

Written by PPCA students Jennifer Morales, Kirsten Ocampo and Jomelys Gonzalez

Together as ONE,
we change our tomorrows.
We are a family,
for we know,
we're a team with a destiny,
a dream, and a goal.
The Puma Pride spirit
runs deep through our souls.

In this place, 
we are who we are.
No judgement or shame.
We all are stars
striving to bring out 
the best in each other,
within this pride 
of sisters and brothers.

Here no one
is left behind.
That's our 212
state of mind.
Our Puma Pride spirit,
when all's said and done,
pushes us forward to:
BE THE ONE!
