Falcon High School recently went through a large staff change, along with a change of Principal. Last year, more than half of the student population failed their respective math classes. As it's the beginning of the school year, I'm nervous for what these changes mean for the student body. My favorite part is our choir and theatre program, while it has it's faults, the enviornment is very supportive and a nice break from other stressful courses.

I liked that Falcon High School was a smaller school than others near us. I grew up with most of my classmates.

The students and staff are super welcoming and friendly! Falcon offers great clubs and activities. They work with PPSC making it so students can get a kick start at college while still being a kid. Definitely recommend!

First, off it should be mentioned that I have no hate for the school I just want to improve it. Second, For sake of privacy, I'm leaving out the teacher's name. Biology Honors, the style of teaching that this class uses is not good whatsoever. Our teacher has us take notes at home, then come into cl...
