One of the things that I truly like about Paynesville is the teachers. They’re helpful, welcome questions, and overall provide a very comfortable atmosphere. The new block schedule is nice, and students do get a range of privileges such as off-campus lunch for juniors and seniors as well as being able to sign out early from school if you’re enrolled in any online or PSEO classes. If you want change, you’re able to visit with the counselor to change your courses around. There are many things I think Paynesville could alter, but overall the school is solid and a fairly good environment compared to others in the area.
I love Paynesville Area High School for so many reasons. First off, they offer so many classes and opportunities to the students and give more than enough aid to pursue our goals. I also enjoy the staff. You can tell all the teachers are there for us and want us to succeed. Some of them would stay after school if needed just to make sure the student feels satisfied with their education.
Paynesville Area High school is a great place for a small-town family. The school is full of great teachers who makes it their duty to really get to know each one of their students and help them receive the education they are striving for. After spending four years of my life at PHS I can personally say that I will always remember the connection between students, it has such a welcoming environment and feels as if everyone is friends with everyone.
