Pennsauken high is really an amazing school. Other then the crazy/funny things that go on its a great place to learn and meet new people. Its a very big school that had people of all colors and cultures, and it has amazing sports programs/activities for the future students and current students involved.

I would like to see more clubs, and even more diverse classes such as more AP or Honors Courses. I think Pennsauken Highschool was okay, but I felt I had a disadvantage due to lack of AP or diversity of classes.

My overall experience at Pennsauken High School was filled with memories, laughter, stress, and most importantly growth. The lessons I have learned about myself, about others, and about the world in the last 4 years have shaped who I am today. In some ways, it feels like an everyday battle, but I manage to get through it because I am a hardworking and determined person.

Eight out of ten kids I taught, were at least 3 years below grade level, and 9 out of 10 spent all day playing on $1000...
