PHMS is a progressive, supportive H.S with many learning and social opportunities. They offer a wide range of AP, research, art and tech classes, foster a cohesive student body and have a lot of sports and clubs. The teachers are easily accessible and they adapt to the student's individual needs. The administration is constantly creating and re-evaluating it's educational and social goals in terms of 3-5 year plans, using the most currently available and valid programs and educational philosophies. The school has strong sports programs, and active theatre program and lots of school spirit including an annual week long Olympics competition between the grades. The school is also supported by an active, non profit called the Pelham Education Foundation which fundraises to provide additional resources to staff and students for materials and programs outside of the budget including a Makers space, additional band instruments and teacher residencies.
When I moved to Pelham from NYC in 2016, I was extremely nervous. I had never lived or attended a school in the suburbs and it was a very new experience. My hesitations were quickly dismissed, however, when I began my schooling at Pelham Memorial High School. The community, my teachers, and my peers were all very welcoming and kind, and I found myself immersed in the school very quickly. PMHS offers lots of different activities for everyone, like clubs, sports, community service and volunteer options, and many more. The school is very community oriented, and offers lots of different opportunities to be apart of community events and such. Now as a senior, reflecting back on my entire high school experience, I am very happy that I was able to attend Pelham Memorial High School.
I found that I gravitate toward smaller environments where you are able to create stronger bonds with people around you. I've grown up in Pelham, New York, which is a very small town and school. I found that it was extremely helpful to have teachers that can recognize when I'm struggling, and make a strong effort in helping me improve. I also loved that being in a small school I was able to form strong bonds with my classmates and help support one another. In high school I participated in Cheerleading a sport that in most schools doesn't have a lot of support behind them. However, In Pelham Memorial High School the facility and students were right behind us with a supporting hand. Also, being that we were such a small school we were able to create new create traditions that would help bring us even closer. These traditions would carry on for multiple years. As a fellow student at Pelham Memorial high school I would say it felt more like family than anything else.
