Although I did not want to be part of the DP Program, a lot of teachers and staff motivated me to keep my head up and finish off strong.

i had a terrible experience at pulaski there was fights all the time, Some teachers care to help the students,but some of the teachers , you ask for help they never help you.They have resources to help seniors with college but the problem is that they help you but they leave you with even more questions.My classmates are rude they are always interrupting class time or cussing at the teachers, and calling teachers by rude names ,so if i had the chance to recommend the school to another student i would only recommend it for some teachers that are excellent.

I was a student here at Casmir Pulaski High School for the 2012-2013 school year. This school was brought up to be great but it is quite the opposite. This is not a safe place at all. This school contains drugs, gangs, and extreme violence. I regret attending this school greatly. If you send your ch...
