There are a lot of things to love about Pioneer. Our student body is so large that it is impossible for you to not find at least one extracurricular activity that you like. There are endless amounts of clubs, and organizations to be a part of. On the other hand, I had a hard time finding my "people" at such a large school. It felt like I was drowning in a sea of opportunities. There simply wasn't enough time in the day to connect with my 500 classmates and teachers. But I do think that being overwhelmed with opportunities is better than having none at all! I go to travel to China through school, as well as perform in musicals , and be a part of a student-led a cappella group!
My experience at Pioneer was different from many others. From not going to my middle school's regular high school, I went to Pioneer High School. Some things I liked about Pioneer High School were how friendly and helpful the teachers are and the college readiness for this high school is perfect. The academics are very good and the teachers prepare you well for the real world. We have classes that can assist you in the real world, such as Auto Repair, Personal Finance, and Homebuilding. All these classes can help you become very successful in your life regardless of what profession you decide to proceed in. Something that I would change about Pioneer High School is their safety and their students. In most cases, Pioneer safety is very comfortable. The teachers and hall monitors take care of anything that is unsafe but sometimes the principals , teachers , and etc arrive late to unsafe situations.
Overall, I think Pioneer is a very high quality high school. Every aspect of the school, from the sports to the music programs, set to achieve high standards of excellence, and more often than not actually do so. Many of the teachers are very dedicated to their job and excel in preparing students with the knowledge and skills they’ll need for college, while also not being uber traditional. The facilities are the biggest issue for me, as the bathrooms have been pretty disgusting oftentimes and some closed for maintenance for months on end. Safety is also a slight problem, as there have been several incidents in my time there of people taking things way too far. However, I would say overall the school is excellent in most academic and extracurricular areas, so my rating is “very good.”
