I truly enjoyed my time at Piper High School, truly the thing could be better is how the money for our school is spent, in ways that don't impact all, some of the decisions only affect certain students. The main example being how much money and the funding that the football team received in comparison to other activities and clubs.

We have "academies" that are oriented towards real-world learning. The academies are health and public safety, business, Engineering and Aviation, and Arts. Each academy has its own set of classes that students can choose to take and a lot of the academies offer a lot of really good real-world learning experiences that have helped a lot of the students decide on what career they want to pursue.

I love Piper. I've attended the high school for 3 years now. Sure they have their flaws, any school does, but I wouldn't want to leave for the world.

Lack luster, the super intendent doesn't do anything unless forced to and instead of working with students who have poor grades he tells them to drop out.

I love piper high school! The students here are great. The teachers are very nice and you can learn so much if you apply yourself. You can tell that the teachers really take pride in what they do.We probably have the best principal in the world! It can be very challenging transitioning from another...
