The biggest part of Pisgah High I enjoyed the most was the atmosphere. All of staff had this "I'm here to help" attitude regardless of what the students did or what they were doing. Also the school is constantly being updated and renovated to stay up-to-date with current teaching standards and practices as well as constantly trying out different teaching methods to help each student find the best way to receive their education.
