My experience at Point Pleasant high school has been a bittersweet one. Of course, no one enjoys school, but the people I have met here have become life long friends. All of the programs and clubs that this school offers has opened me up to many opportunities and many memories that I will appreciate for the rest of my life. It is where I was introduced to my dream career and had many of the best moments of my life.

While I've had good teachers across the board, the quality of my education was not very good. Other than the Honors and Dual Credit courses I took, the main curriculum lacks the necessary information and teaching to prepare me for higher education. The food here is terrible, but that's just school food. Even though it has it's downsides, the faculty are nice and helpful people.
