It's pretty cool. I have gone here since I was a freshman in high school. It has been an amazing cultural emerging experience. Each of my classes exposes me to different ways of life and ideas. Tilghman encourages different opinions to be discussed in a monitored, safe environment. This opportunity has widened my vision on the world and society's look on different groups of people. This new worldview will be carried with me throughout my life and especially into my career. I wish to work with all different types of people from different social standings and classes.
Paducah Tilghman has been mismanaged for decades. They constantly institute policies for the sole purpose of decreasing crime. 7:20 start time. 4 minute class changes. (Strictly enforced) Highly segregated. An AP class with 35 students can sometimes have 2 black students. We are a black majority school. School administrators hate poor people. Superintendent did blackface. Too much money in sports. No option for a study hall. No bike rack. Dodgy school computers. Mandatory finals for no reason. 25 minute lunch. Very bad lunch. Some good teachers but bad ones go unchecked and some good ones are fired for no reason. Generally would not recommend. Graduated with a 4.3 cumulative GPA and disliked much of my time there.
Paducah Tilghman is the perfect place to receive your secondary education. We are a small school with big opportunities. The school does not limit students to the things they can be apart of. If you are a cheerleader and want to be in the school musical then so be it. Our arts are thriving with classes such as choir, band, orchestra, creative writing, and the school newspaper. Here you can complete college credit through AP classes and Dual Credit Courses. The support system at PTHS is brilliant and we aren't just a school, we're a family!
