When I came to Princeton I had no person to look to. I had no friends and the teaching staff really help me get to where I'm at now. I have tons of friends, everyone is so nice!

I loved Princeton High School all four years of my high school career. The pride everyone takes in the school is tremendous and most love it there as well. The teachers are great and students are friendly and you just about know everyone as the small school environment you see familiar faces everyday. The sports program is amazing and the coaches are better. I've liked every teacher I have had and have very little complaints about any. I will say Princeton is a little outdated and there are things that need to be worked on but other than that it's nice. I played football all four years of high school and it was great getting treated so nicely with pre-game meals and such as well as playing on our astro-turf field. The diversity is alright but not there completely yet but I hope in the future it will change. In sports not so much but a little in the classroom I do feel as there is exclusion at times.

The school population is small so everyone knows each other. The teachers are also very willing to help students in areas they struggle with. Although the administration counsel needs to stop changing the rules every semester.
