I loved my experience at Pierson High School. It's a great small school with a feel of a private school . Lot's of individual attention. Fantastic teachers and a sense of community. There is something for everyone. I really enjoyed being involved in the theatre department. I did all of the school plays. The school also is very big on sports and community events. I appreciated the small class sizes, it provided for a lot of individual guidance for the students.

The teachers for the most part were dedicated and helpful, many going out...
