I transferred to Priceville High my freshman year. It was a thrilling experience because when I did transfer it was the first day. I was welcomed with open arms. The faculty were amazing all four years I attended. I cheered and I will say it was an awesome experience to cheer on the teams because they were always amazing us. I was also involved in FFA which was a big part of my high school experience and I learned a lot from that. Priceville is an everything school. I am grateful that I attended that school.

I have been here for around 12 years, and overall, it is a great school. The students are highly involved in academics, sports, and other school organizations. Mostly, the teachers and faculty are accommodating in and out of the classroom. Sometimes the students can be rowdy and uncontrolled with a supervisor present, but overall it is a great learning environment.
