Pearl High School overall is a great school with an amazing community that comes behind it. I came to Pearl during my sophomore more year and was amazed with all of the things that came with the district. I was not use to school being a place that j actually enjoyed but Pearl High was a new beginning for me. The environment encouraged learning and safety while also providing opportunities for all students no matter the background. I was able to join clubs and grow with my friends in a school that actually accepted me.

I can't really say much about my experience because most of it was just me ALMOST having a mental breakdown from the hard homework I was given, but I can tell you some stuff about the clubs here. We have esports, dnd, student council, key club, and yearbook.

The last 3 years at Pearl high school has been a roller coaster if you ask me. Over the years i've gained wonderful friendships, learned new things within myself and have grown as a person. I would say coming to Pearl has taught enough about myself.
