Pulaski County High School has been a huge part of the past four years of my life. I have gotten to be part of some great sports team with Golf and Basketball. We have been successful and I have gotten to play in two KHSAA Boys State Golf Tournaments and two KHSAA Boys State Basketball Tournaments. As far as education goes I have had some great teachers and have even gotten several college credits while here at PCHS. I feel that I am somewhat prepared for my transition to college. I do think that the facilities need a face lift, but all in all PCHS is a great place to receive an education.

I think a lot of our administration needs to be changed. There have been quite a few circumstances in which they give racial advantage to others. They also involve LGBT a lot more which is fine but while doing so isolate those who do not wish to affiliate with that. Bullying is also a huge issue in this school that for some reason our school struggles to seriously address. They give very small punishments for bullying.

I love all the activities that our school hosts each year such as pep rallies and beneficials like blood drives and dances that will raise money or give to good causes.The student body becomes more diverse with each new class of students coming and going. It feels a little tight knit but we really need to be like a stitch and become closer with our graduating class and other classmates. Other than that the only thing that needs improvement is the school menu there is only so much pizza a person can eat each week. Also please bring the pit stop back it was an amazing experience to have with others and it benefitted the school. I loved all 4 years I have went here and hope to see the programs and classes grow.
