I have been very fortunate to have enjoyed my time here at Powell High School. I have been with the right crowds, and involved in too many clubs and organizations to count. But still going to school in the conservative south has it's challenges. I was disrespected as a woman and I am done rationalizing that fact. I could say a lot more but I do not wish to sound bitter.

Overall it's a solid school, a mix of teachers who genuinely care about students and others who are just there doing their job. A lot of focus on sports and little importance on the arts.

My son is in all honors classes & it's no wonder! He is challenged & nudged towards success & I am very pleased with PHS especially Coach and Teacher Mr. Smith. Mr.Smith is a teacher a parent dreams for they're child to have & I am so thankful my son was taught by him.

I am a Powell alum (class of 2001). I attended college out of state, but I've had the priviledge of returning to Knoxville for my career. While the Powell community is still an excellent town to be a part of, it is no secret that rezoning has certainly changed the dynamic at the high school. I do so...
