Pelham High School Reviews
Rating 4.28 out of 5 287 reviews
Although I have not graduated yet, I have had a pleasant experience at Pelham High School. All the staff and administration are so involved and do their best to make sure the students are not only prepared for the future in whatever we may choose, but ensure that we have a positive experience. Through the pandemic the teachers have sacrificed so much to make sure we are still learning and working towards our goals. The school provides countless classes and opportunities to prepare/prep students for college, such as AP classes, ACT study sessions, and dull enrollment. They create a fun and inclusive environment for all students with clubs, sports, academics, etc. I’m proud to be a Pelham Panther! Go ham!
Most importantly I want to say that I am extremely grateful to have had Pelham High School as my high school experience. I involved myself all four years among a variety of soccer, honor societies, and clubs. Which led me to experience the attitude and opportunities of our neighboring and rivalry schools. Unlike the neighboring schools, Pelham was still growing its facilitates so it lack some of the current technological and course resources. Even so our school triumphed the rivalry schools in a greater atmosphere between the students and teachers. Everyone would put their individual efforts in order to create school and individual opportunities by resourcing to donations, services, research, etc. to reach their goals. Thus, making the present lack of modern school resources an influence to bring a positive mindset that will uplift oneself and others. Which is one of the many lessons this school has taught me for real life to be in finding ways for my goals even when there is nothing.
Pelham high school understands that not all students will move on to a 4year college. They work hard to prepare the kids for life after graduation if that includes the work force, junior college, or larger university. The school overs a variety of education paths for college and career prep. The teachers are supportive and encouraging to the students and the principal Ms. Kiel clearly loves her job and the kids.
