This is my second year at Pleasant Grove and I am really glad I came. Originally, I was going to go to Sheldon High School but when I heard about how Pleasant Grove has better academic experiences, I knew I wanted to go there instead. Pleasant Grove High School prepares you for college since the class experience is just like a college class. PGHS also provided many different types of AP classes such as AP Psychology. AP Music Theory, and so much more. I like that Pleasant Groce High School is a nice school with an extremely nice and intelligent staff. The staff at Pleasant Grove High School is very caring and overall truly concerned for all of the students. The only thing that stops Pleasant Grove Hight school from being a five star is the lack of diversity. The school has a majority of Caucasian students but it might just be because of the area it is in. Something I would change about PGHS is, honestly nothing! The majority of the students and staff are respectful!
Pleasant Grove High is a well diverse school with curriculum that challenges its students. School activities allow students to interact with other students as well as give out important information on how to treat others. Not only this, but clubs and administration take action if there happens to be any accidents between any of the students. Security assures safety at all times for students, and if anything happens, fights or other concerning events are handled swiftly and carefully. Overall this school is well diverse with supporting teachers who you can always go to for school and outside reason for aid as well as assuring students safety.
PGHS is overall a very diverse, unique, fun, and rigorous school. PG follows the 4 R's of Rigor, Relevance, Respect, and Relationships. The first, Rigor, is upheld very strictly, at PG they offer multiple AP and Honors Courses and many of the teachers are willing to push their students towards success. PG is very relevant because we connected with many modern movements and cultures. Our technology is up to date and software is top of the line. At PGHS they also have a great amount of respect and relationships not only bewteen fellow peers but within students and on campus staff. Everyone looks out for one another. One downside of this school is that, as expected with every school, not all staff nor students follow the expectations. There are also occasionally very unsanitary and crowded bathrooms and little to no enforcement of school rules.
