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.
Peters township teachers are fantastic. They not only support you during their particular classes but also in other subjects or with other teachers. They keep encouraging me to enter into difficult classes since they believe in me. They help prepare us for college entrance exams and are our biggest cheerleaders. Class sizes could be smaller though. I also felt that during AP classes they were geared towards passing the test rather than making sure we really understood the material. In the end, I am confident Peters has prepared me well for college.
Something that I love about my school is hat they take education very seriously. Peters Township ensures all students a well rounded education in Math, Science, English and History courses. There are also numerous clubs, sports, and activities this school offers to reach interests of every child. We have clubs from Horticulture to Fashion. Something that I would love to see be changed in my school is the regard for creative students. While Peters Township encourages art and music classes, they do not offer many theater or vocal electives. Overall, Peters Township School District is a very good district, and I am proud to graduate with a PTHS diploma.
