Potomac senior high school is a great learning environment and full of unique experiences. Teachers here are very helpful and understanding with students and have a passion for their work. Making friends and having strong relationships with others is an important thing for many students. There are many fun and action-filled clubs to join and sports are also highly valued here. Teachers and students fill the halls and classrooms with waves of school spirit and pride, being an environment i truly enjoy being involved in. I’ve had a great 3 years here and can’t wait for my senior year. Go Panthers!
The past three years at Potomac High School have been great! The teachers and staff are amazing people: very understanding, caring, and full of joy. If I had to change something at Potomac, it would be some of the food options. I think the food could be better.
My experiences at Potomac Senior High School was very different and unique in a lot of ways. As a person who spent all 4 years there and graduated in 2020, I would not change it for another school. School spirit was definitely something Potomac Senior High School was known for since the basketball and football teams were something that represented our strong and high spirits of the students. Pep rallies were also something that I enjoyed and loved personally as well as they always had soaring energy from students and staff. Teachers also left a huge impact on me as well since they helped me to push myself to become the best I knew I could be. I had many different and unique attachments with the teachers and some even helped me get into the colleges that I applied for (such as JMU, GMU, and VCU). If there is one thing that I could change at Potomac, it would be school food but that is something minor and does not really change the experiences that I had here at Potomac High School.
