Pershing High School Reviews
Rating 3.6 out of 5 58 reviews
I really like my school , I’ve made lots of good friends and have learned lots! My teachers like Mrs. Carolynn Miller and Ms. Melonie Martin and so supportive in anything that I do. My college advisor, Ms. Stacy Hillery, does everything she can to ensure that I will have an amazing future at college. It is just amazing that all of the staff supports my peers and I like we’re their kids.
Pershing is a very diverse high school , not only does it welcome all students but it pushed those students to excel to there greatest potential and ability. One of my favorite things about Pershing is the staff , along with our teachers , our principal and dean are very supportive and motivating to the students.
The school lack fundamental resources. The school lacks supplies, administrators, diversity, and funding in general. However, because it is this bad an inclusive it creates a small community of love and trust. The administrators that are there truly care for the students and want to see the best for them.
