Pearland High School has been an incredibly great experience for me. Especially the teachers at Pearland High School. Every teacher I have had feels like they truly care not about just my education and passing a test, but they care for me to truly learn.

Pearland High School is a great school, but only if you make it a good school. I believe that to make the most of this school you need to apply yourself and do things your uncomfortable with. Its almost like a pre college in the sense that bo one helps you unless you seek help but when you do seek that help they help tremendously and honestly and if they con't help you they find a way to make any problem easier or just a lighter weight on your shoulders
