I can say that I had some bad teacher and just few good ones, that the school food in not healthy at all. But talking about sport i can say i had good experiences, there are some really amazing people that really want to help us to improve our skills.

I would love to see a change for incoming students, to have better facilities for the Mecanic Shop. The teacher is excelente, and he deserves an upgraded equipment for his students.

Plant City high school is located in a small rural town in between Tampa and Orlando. The main source of income for most people in Plant City is farm work as such PCHS is a title one school. As a title one PCHS has to build up kids that are not as fortunate and make them successful (I believe that Plant City high school does a decent job at this). PCHS has an excellent administration but can be hit or miss with teachers as some are great but some are really stuck up and rude. The overall available courses are great for anyone as PCHS has everything from STEM to Ag even Automotives. I personally played football and Golf at PCHS and never had a bad experience with any coaches and always was able to work my schedules around my sports. My teachers were also understanding about my sports and would cut me some slack if I had to turn something in a day late because I had to stay late at practice. The food at PCHS is poor and sometimes sickening as most food is in todays public school system.
