Peters Township has a true sense of community. Going through the grades from 1st to 12th, by the time we all got to high school, everyone knew each other. There was not the animosity and drama that is so expected with the adolescent years. The character of the student body is one of acceptance and unity. I've often heard that people only find where they belong once they get to college, but I found myself much earlier because of this school district. I met my closest friends and my lifelong mentors at Peters. Academically, Peters is a strong school. Of course, there are some schools nearby in other counties that may have a more competitive nature. There are definitely students who thrive in high-pressure, cut-throat competition, but I was not one of them. I feel that Peters gives that level of academic excellence while still having a healthy environment. Anyone looking to come to Peters can rest assured that they are sending their child into a safe and welcoming community.
Excellent district. Teachers are caring and compassionate, want to see students excel. elementary schools provide a great start. Adequate sports representation for variety. High school provides range of classes including honors and many AP options for those students wanting to push themselves to do more. Many clubs available for students to participate.
Over my four years at PTHS, I was able to figure out what I wanted to do because I connected with the teachers that were in my fields of interest. Like any public high school it has a everything one would expect walking in, but what sets it apart is that you get out what you put in. PTHS allows for flexibility in classes taken, as I doubled up in science my senior year and took the jump to take my first AP math course after only taking academic levels. If you're looking for a school with good resources, great teachers, and a place where you want to figure out what to do after high school, college or otherwise, its a top contender.
