Attending Pisgah was a wonderful experience. Many of the teachers and staff were incredible and helped me so much. I made many incredible friends that I will carry with me far into my adult life, and found an incredible group of people that helped me find my purpose in life.

I am an AFAB Non-binary person who has known their not straight since middle school. My friend group was much the same, therefore our lives were made quite hard with no help from the school itself. I enjoyed many of my teachers but could only get all of my requirements by knowing precisely what I had to do and take. Most of the advisors don't know what they're talking about which makes it hard to complete everything on time.

Had my butt grabbed in a science class and no consequences were given to the assaulter. I was simply switc...
