I loved my high school experience! I was involved with sports and band and I always had fun with my friends. Unfortunately I was never able to attend a school dance especially after COVID-19 changed everything, but I know that myself along with the rest of the class of 2021 remain unbothered because we can’t let that ruin our entire senior year. In my school, the biggest change I would like to see is the councilors being more involved with their students. I cannot speak for the other councilors, but my councilor specifically never helped me sign up for other college courses that I could have taken in advanced and she never spoke to me about behind on track for being valedictorian or anything like that. There had been a couple times where I requested to meet with her and she never called me up to her office. Overall I love the school and what they are doing.
I’ve been a student at Porterville High School for the last 4 years. I’ve liked how teachers are caring and put effort and time to help those kids who struggle. They are willing to give up their lunch breaks and stay time after school to help their students succeed. I’ve also liked how they have a student store ran by students it’s a great benefit since it gives students the opportunity to buy nutritions snacks and for low prices. They’re boys and girls basketball along with their swimming team have won back to back EYL titles. They have a variety of clubs so if you aren’t into sports, clubs are also an option. I’d like to change the online learning method since due to COVID-19 we can’t go back. Overall, Porterville High School is a great place to learn and succeed.
As an incoming senior, I am glad to say that Porterville High School has made a huge impact on me. Not only are the staff and extracurricular activities amazing, the school over all is welcoming and has tons of school pride and spirit. As an incoming freshman, every student is welcomed into the panther family, and makes so many new friends. I enjoyed playing sports and gaining close connections with each and every teammate throughout the past 3 years. Porterville High School has become my second home, by spending more hours on the campus then at my house, as well as gaining such close bonds with my teachers, friends, and coaches.
