I think that Pocatello High school has great academics and programs. I think that the food and facilities could use some work but overall a good school with staff that care.

Being a part of the student body was amazing. Going to sport events and cheering in student sections was amazing, we were always the loudest with the most school pride. Something I would like to change was the mindset of the principal. She would change things at the school based on how she felt alone and not consider the student body, which caused great anger among the students.
