Narrative:

After 2 yrs of non flying; student pilot resumed his flight training for private pilot. About 6 hours of flight training and about 15 takeoffs and lndgs. Student seems confident for re-soloing. The day of incident; student and I did about 9 takeoffs and lndgs. First 3 lndgs student bounced (on the landing) aircraft. As lesson progresses; student's lndgs were betting better each time. For last 3 lndgs; student greased lndgs without my input. I deplaned and student went for solo again. The first approach was ok; but not as stable as he would like. Student executed go around without any problem. For second approach; speed and glide path was right on (from my perspective). Student landed with aircraft bounced. Student push for full throttle and extreme pitch up. Plane stalled and yaw to left. The plane veered off runway; hit the taxiway sign. Student tried to and did taxi the plane back onto the runway. While he tried to taxi back onto runway; propeller hit the runway edge lights. Student stopped the plane and taxied back to ramp.
