Pioneer Valley High School

Posted: March 26, 2013

I was pleasantly surprised that when I visited this school on Welcome New Panthers Night 2013 how polite and helpful all the students were. Everyone we encountered that night was gracious to talk too. The faculty were kind and informative about what the school has to offer there and seemed engaged in their duties as well. I really enjoyed meeting the principal that night. If PVHS has the same energy level that their principal does, it can only be a GREAT place to educate. Mrs. Walters was full of the same energy levels...wow!! As parents of a future high school student, we are trying to decipher right now where to send our child in two years and we can afford any school this town or other towns nearby offer, but PVHS seems like a really good option to us right now. We know other students that have graduated from PVHS and went on to higher education and have done very well for themselves. Just want to thank PVHS for a great first impression!

Being a current student at Pioneer Valley, serving as the student body president, gives me a firm foundation and background of how our school is really like. For those who claim that gangs are a problem at our school, is a faulty assumption. Since the newly found club link crew, which joins a group of freshman with two upperclassmen, in a big brother, big sister kind of way, makes incoming students more welcome and provides them with a stable shoulder to lean on in case they are hesitant. This has decreased class cuts, fighting, and truancies. The diversity amongst the students on campus is also something that is magnificent. It truly is a melting pot of all cultures. As for the staff and administration, which I have been overly pleased with during the three years I have spent there. The support system, encouragement, visibility and involvement, is something that makes PV stand out in our district. I truly am proud to be a panther, and there is no better place to learn than Pioneer Valley.
