I have attended Panhandle school most of my life, as well as lived in Panhandle most of my life. I think Panhandle High School is great place for any High Schooler to spend their last 4 years before graduating. There are many high school classes offered as well as online DC classes.

Even though there are a lot of opportunities to branch out in education, extra curriculars, and athletic events, the people and the staff are not always the most reasonable. Yes, I have a great path of education both behind and ahead of me, but it has been really tough to create this pathway on my own without much guidance.

Panhandle is a very small school. I am very active in music, and my school has almost no opportunities for vocalists. My school does not have a choir, but does have a band. Overall, most of the teachers are pretty great. I would like to see Panhandle High School become more diverse with extracurriculars.
