Pembroke Hill Middle School is a Division B team in the state of Missouri that competes in Region III. The team qualified for the National Tournament every year from 2006 to 2016, with the team's streak coming to an end in 2017 after a third place placement at the 2017 Missouri State Tournament. Despite its logo being literally called "PH", the Pembroke Hill Middle School team did not, in fact, design it to reference the chemical term.
Pembroke Hill Middle School has traditionally had a friendly rivalry with Ladue Middle School in the Missouri State Tournament. We have recently put aside our differences to recognize the real opposition: Pleasant Ridge Middle School. Certain students from Pembroke Hill Middle School and Ladue Middle School are now in an enemies to lovers arc.

Lore
Pembroke Hill Middle School has formed a strong coalition with Olathe North High School, though Olathe North High School doesn't know that yet.
In honor of the glorious Matthew Kim Bed from Lindbergh High School, a pembroke hill student slept and embezzled funds in a recreation at the 2023 National Tournament.
The 8th grade debate teacher has introduced ducks instead of trophies at debate tournaments. Since students that are on the debate team are also in Science Olympiad, a duck has made its way to the homeroom ever since.
A small duck has also been attached to the Air Trajectory device that was found squeaker-less in the trash can from a second place win at a debate tournament. The duck is now a memento of the mistakes made during the building of the Air Trajectory device. A cracked PVC pipe that has been superglued together after breaking when 2 teammates were playing baseball with the pipe and a ping pong ball. The ping pong also broke and is also on the tophie. The needle was going to be used to measure the valve's turn, however the needle was 'lost' by the partners, so they made another one. It was later recovered and is now on the trophy. It is used as a cover for the emergency ball fund, as the partners have forgotten a ping pong ball to a tournament before.
silly things that have happened
Flight
The flight team have gotten their plane stuck a multitude of times. They use tapes up meter sticks to get it down even though they have a telescopic pole. That's besides the point. This time their plane's propeller literally got stuck in a wall panel.
Tournaments
The award ceremony at the Pembroke Hill Invitational was running a little late and this was the Pembroke Hill Middle School Team's way of passing the time. Air dropping.
