Overall my experience here at Person High has been average at best. Person has the foundation to be a great school, I just do not feel as if my future is what is in mind for them. I get the vibe here that focuses more on money, numbers, and test scores. In the future I would love to see Person going above and beyond for the students and their futures, because todays students is the future for us all.

Overall, I had a great experience at Person High School. I worked hard in my classes and ended with a 3.1 GPA. I played on the varsity basketball team all four years. I was accepted to Pfeiffer University as a student-athlete, where I will play basketball. All of these things were made possible because of my experiences at Person High School.

This is honestly the worst school I have ever attended. The administraors are selective about who they punish, they're afraid to punish certain people and pick on those that are not "Christian like" or "too different". Also the dresscode policy is a tid bit outrageous. Wearing shorts is fine but if...
