This school provided me with the knowledge and relationships that I feel like will help me tremendously throughout my life. Here I have learned hard work, perseverance, life skills, life lessons, and so much more. This school is the best school I could have ever gone to.

PGHS is phenomenal! They are student oriented. They encourage students to participate and be involved in numerous activities.
