I like the environment Peninsula High School provides. Everywhere you go, there's always going to be someone to help support you. Whether it's a friend, a teacher, counselor, ect. The people I've met here have positively impacted my life. I've found a group of people that I feel comfortable being around. I can be myself and not have to worry about pretending to be somebody I'm not. Definitely one of the better schools in Washington!
My first impression of Peninsula High School is its hospitality. Students and staff were very welcoming on my first day of school and they all had and still have great spirit and passion for making our school a better place! Peninsula High School focuses on including everyone and working as a team to overcome hardships. All the staff and upperclassmen are very nice and welcoming! I feel very supported and I feel safe here.
Something that I would like to see changed is that I think our passing time should be a minute or so longer since the campus can be quite big if students are traveling from one end of school to the other. And even if students make it to class on time, they might not have time to hydrate or use the restroom. Which then leads to students using class time to take care of themselves when they could've done it during passing period.
