10/1/2024
The best part about Pioneer is the resources that are given for students for college preparedness and the passion that staff has for helping students reach their goals. There are also many extracurriculars at Pioneer that are inclusive and interactive. A low about Pioneer is lack of staff and funding for the arts. I would like to see more care given to the arts and less known sports teams.

Pioneer helped me blossom like a flower. I started my freshman year scared until i joined the theater program. Which in turn gave me the confidence to join ASB and Volleyball my sophomore year and I made both. At the end of sophomore year I decided to run for an executive position in ASB, I ran for Secretary and I got rhe position for my Junior year. I've had so many great opportunities and met so many great teachers and I've just had the greatest time of my life these years. The teachers here want to see every single one kf us grow. I love this school.

My overall experience at Pioneer High School was very fun. The school hosted many activities during breaks and after school which were always a joy to participate in. One thing I'd like to see change is if staff could take in to account student's emotions more. Some may be struggling with events in their personal lives so if staff members, such as counselors, could be a little kinder, that could help out students.

After all the negative rumors I heard about Pioneer, I was hesitate to send my daughter to this school. However, I am so glad I did.

I am a Sophomore here at Pioneer and I cannot express how Pioneer High School is an amazing school. People see it as "ghetto" school, but I don't see anything wrong with it. Teachers are phenomenal, counselors are so academically involved in what you do, and we have the administration who greets us...

I attended here in the late 80s when this site wasn't around. What made this great was the friends I made and still keep. Some of the teachers are really good. However, some of them when I was there didn't know what they were doing, in particular the teacher who taught Math Analysis. I guess due to...
