When I was a freshman, I knew hardly anyone at this school because I transferred from a different high school. I was nervous that I couldn't make friend groups easily, and that I would always feel like I'm sinking in my classes. However, Poway High is different, because they reached out to me and gave me more opportunities than I could ever imagine. I have made wonderful friends, and the teachers are all down to earth and ready to help us students. I'm so grateful that I go to Poway High School, I extremely recommend it!
I loved poway high school and the opportunities that have been brought to me through it. Although a lot of people who go or have gone to poway take it for granted and are unappreciative of the amount of resources and great education they are being given, it’s still an amazing school. Always having a positive attitude and outlook around other students boosts the environment. The teachers are great and the extracurricular activities are endless, take advantage of them!
I would like to see new teachers coming into the high school. There are a lot of teachers who have worked at poway high for YEARS but I want to see new, bright, and young teachers who have new teaching strategies up their sleeves.
In addition, my experience their was very eventful from freshmen year, and all the way up to my senior year. Teachers make sure our writing skills are college ready, and are involved with their students before, during, and after school.
They also allow students to lead events such as assemblies, dances, and PSA’s. But I also believe that is a challenge our school faces cause some students don’t put in their best effort to make those “extra curriculars” enjoyable to students.
