I would like to see every student treated equally without the "who you know" being what disciplinary action you actually receive.

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.
