The best parts of my high school life at Pineville Highschool was only during my junior year and the beginning of freshman year my sophomore and senior year was not the best but it had its good moments regarding classes, memories, and club activities my overall negative experience has mostly been due to teachers and facility members there have been some questionable things that took longer than it needed to be solved and removed from the school.

Entering my Senior year at PHS, I am overwhelmed with so much excitement because of the number of opportunities and experiences I have been awarded. I would totally recommend attending Pineville High. The school spirit is out of this world. Academics are extremely strong and help students prepare for life after high school.
