To begin, PCHS is the cleanest school in the district- home of the ratters! Not only does this school have the most delicious cuisine in all of Florida, but it is ALWAYS served with a smile as well. If you're a student athlete at this school, get ready to be treated like royalty! You can walk around the school at any hour of the school day, be borderline passing all of your classes, and face little to no consequences for your actions (especially if you play football)! Oh yeah, and lets not forget that your last name means everything at this place. If you are lucky enough to be in this group of white, uh I mean BRIGHT group of people (typo) then you pretty much run the show here. P-C-H-S!

Plant City High School has a wonderful environment were students are involved with events (like Black History Month, PRIDE day, etc.) and the community. The school faculty is great and cares for the students and their future. The teachers who work their are very inspirational and make a great impact on students lives by going beyond their pay. The sport program is great however, could be better if we had a better budget- the football team gets more than the track. But other than that Plant City is a great school!
At this school I love the way that they love coming to school to teach and help there students any way that they can. The teachers are amazing and do stuff for the students on their own time. Although the teacher is obsessed with winning all competitions she does good for the community in Plant City with help from the students. The school has amazing academics, clubs, sports, and programs which benefit any and all of the students attending. There is a lot of responsibility that is taken on by the students to improve the school and get them ready for college or whatever career they want to pursue.
