My experience at Presque Isle High School has been wonderful. The teachers care about your personal well being and your grades as well. They also offer many different clubs and sports to join in on so that you’re never bored! I’ve had a great 3 years so far and can’t wait to finish up this last great year!

I really enjoyed PIHS academics and athletics. Academics were of the highest caliber with teachers that truly cared about students success. Athletics were also of the highest caliber. Administrators expected overall sportmanship, team work, and school pride. Coaches not only instilled the need for cooperation and sportmanship but also hard work ethic.
They give a good education and they do a good job preparing students for college, but they sometimes disregard public opinion and they need to check their priorities. For example when they asked teachers and others whether they wanted students to have iPads or computers, the majority said computers and yet we received iPads.
