At Pelham high school, I have had a beautiful experience. Sports, academics, peers, activities. I have enjoyed my years there. I would like to see more recognition on some sports like Track and field, which I am in. Other than that it's a good school to go to and I'm thankful to have attended

I spent my entire life within that school district. There was lots of ups and downs but also I found what I was passionate about which is art and had the best art teachers in High School. And honorary mention , I met my best friend in first grade who is still my best friend and I'm glad we had the same class together!
