School Reviews
5 6/14/2010
Three of our four children had the opportunity of graduating from PHS and successfully completed. The academics are very good. One child spent 8 yrs in Band and 3 yrs in cheerleading. The parental and community involvement in the athletic program is contagious and we found ourselves deeply involved in the spirit of the PIONEER PANTHERS FANCLUB! Since then our last child graduated in 2008 and we still frequently attend football games and band contests. I am pleased that we decided to relocate to this community as it was been both fulfilling and rewarding. The possibilities offered at this School are endless! Go Panthers!
