I liked the tight-knit atmosphere. I would like to see improvements in the way STEM is taught and an increase in the amount of clubs and activities available to students. I would also like to see a change in the way resources are distributed so teachers can get the stuff they need before the beginning of the school year.

Valley High School, located in Pine Grove West Virginia, is a small town school. Teachers are employed long-time and the same one that taught your older siblings will probably still be educating you. Small classes allow for more attention per student.
