My overall experience at Piper High School was both challenging and rewarding. I had the opportunity to meet diverse people, learn from dedicated teachers, and grow academically and personally. There were ups and downs, but those experiences helped shape who I am today.

Some teachers were nice and I have made some long term friendships with the students there. There was some staff that didn't take my situation seriously when I was burnt out by taking too many college classes that I didn't even want to take in the first place because I was passing my classes (barely). So I hope that they would listen to the students and take their aituations seriously

This is regarding 1 of 2 grandchildren who attend this school. Number 1 has severe autism. The level of empathy or understanding the level of his disability is zero. Total lack of regard for parents feelings are non existent. Shameful and frankly quite disgusting really.

I have attended Piper High all 4 years of my high school career and I have a lot to say about it. First off please do not feed into the rumors of Piper being ghetto or dangerous because it's neither of the two. Whatever happened in the past is definitely in the past. I also want to add that Piper is...
