Pleasant Grove High School is a school about favoritism, entitled kids thinking they can do as they please.Teachers on their last straw trying to help the careless students.More discipline needs to be enforced.

The high school had its fun moments. The computer work was very difficult due to covid we switched over and stayed that way ever since and it made it difficult. The principal was so busy putting students out of school for every little thing he didn't get a chance to get to know half of us. Besides the assistant principal he knew all of us, he helped me through a lot. He was hands on with everyone and met everyone needs as much as possible. He made sure he talked to a parent before or while discipline a student not just send us home with a paper to give to our parents. Yes, he still suspended kids or class three, but he made you want to come back to school and do better for yourself.

When I first came to Pleasant Grove High School, I felt a very sense of welcome. The way it came down to it is that I didn't feel judged and everyone there was super nice and welcoming. It was such a new experience that I truly couldn't be proud of to have and I'm forever grateful for everything that my peers have done for me. Go Spartans!!
