Princeton High School is very unique, it is one of the very few places where I've seen teachers actually care and connect with their students. I really like that the teachers I had there were so kind and caring, and it's not just the teachers, it's all of their staff. I also really enjoy that there are so many students that are in athletics who are also in choir, and that is thanks to our choir director, who is supportive and passionate in what he does. At Princeton High School, everyone who works there is working to better their students' education, but also the lives of their students.

I like how Princeton High School values the importance of academics over sports. The teachers in the high schools make sure your grades are average before you can play a sport. I feel like PHS could improve the student culture. As of right now, PHS does little to make students feel comfortable being themselves. Also, the high school does not allow much creativity for students. I think a mural made by the students, or more opportunities to express our creativity or feel comfortable opening up to the faculty around us would be a huge improvement. I hear a lot of students say high school feels like prison, so if PHS could change that mentality, that would be a huge improvement.
