I've been going to Pittston Area since I was a kid. It's a great school, and you learn about the school's history, as you have been here for quite a while. You learn to adapt to the way each teacher teaches the students. Sometimes it may be difficult, considering I've had to do summer school my freshman year for english because that was the first time the teacher ever taught English since she was only a French teacher. Over the years, I've learned to focus on my grades for school and to ask teachers if I ever needed help. Overall Pittston Area has been the best school that I've ever been to.

The only thing about Pittston Area that I would like to see change would be an increase in support for the arts (musical, theater, etc.), as there isn't a whole lot of support for it, unlike other schools in the area that actually have a support for the arts.

He had the principal...
