Pioneer High School Reviews

A lot of clubs are great on paper, but don't come through. Interact club and Red Cross club have many dedicated and authentic people who strive to achieve goals in order to help others. Some people take advantage of these clubs and make it very fake (especially NHS) because they simply want a college app builder. Music is fun and hold high expectation with a great reputation. Theater follows the same. Athletics depends on the sport. For instance field hockey and locrosse and football get much praise for their accomplishment but our outstanding water polo, track, and rowing team don't get much recognition. It would make the experience much more enjoyable if people supoprted those who work so hard and give our school any good reputation we do have. Same goes with the support of our acrdemic leaders in the classroom and preformers.
Review Pioneer High School
I love my orchestra, it really is what I have come to appreciate the most in my school. The community, the memories, everything. I have found a niche within it. And from what I have seen ad heard from all the other clubs, that's pretty much the consensus. A lot of them are hard to get into, like the symphony orchestra/band and varsity sports, but there are plenty of things that a lot of students get involved in that reflect their talents are there interests. It's a big school, and if these things were handled carelessly, then it would be a pretty monotonous experience. However, the embracing of our diversity is reflected within our outstanding activities.
I thought Pioneer all in all was a good fit for me. I had some really good teachers my junior and senior years. However, the teachers for my freshman and sophomore classes were not on par. I was also involved in sports and music, and both of those atmospheres were amazing. The sports community is full of friendly competition and determination, while the music program is way beyond what you'd normally see at a public high school.
