Pike County High School

I am a PiCoHi graduate of 2007 and proud of it. I loved the teachers and Pike County in general. It's a wonderful school to go to or to send your children to. I jus hope that when it's time for my kids to go to school that I am in the position to allow my children to attend Pike Countu Schools as well.

Pike Co is one of the best school systems in Ga. We feel that the education and safety of our kids is second to none. I wouldn't weigh to much into student commentary about things they really have know clue about; administration and such. Steve, Satisfied Parent

I would not have my children any where else in the world. Thank you to the teachers that have done so much. You will always hold a place in my children heart and mine.

Pike County is slipping fast. A few years ago I would have considered PCHS as a very good institution of learning, but due to recent events I have wholly changed my mind in this regard. The teachers are still some of the best, but they're being driven off by an inept and unfocused administration who's goals are unseeded in reality both financially and in terms of student education and potential. There is a lack of funding from the Federal Government, sure, but it is made all the worse by the idiotic choice of spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on sports, leaving the students with no books and keeping the staff disgruntled.

Pike County is a good school as well as a good comunity. It is possible to have both good academics and a successful athletic program, other school systems do and we will as well. We have experienced one successful year in all sports not just football. At least three kids have scholarships and have an chance at a college education that they may not have had otherwise. We do have teachers that care and are going to teach our kids. We also have some teachers, as most all schools do, who concentrate complaining and not on solutions. Our whole nation is strapped for funding from the Fed. Gov. down to each of us as individuals. Lets offer our kids the best the world has to offer, both in academics and extra curricular activities. All work and no play makes unhappy children.

I am a fairly new PCHS teacher. My fellow teachers amaze me with their dedication. The students amaze me with their respect and behavior. But the students have no inate desire to learn. They are bombarded with paranoia concerning discipline and trying to make a mark amidst the football program's overhanging shadow. The administration concerns itself with discipline and NOTHING else. The football program really does receive first priority. I denied it for a long time and thought it was just local gossip. It's true. My fellow teachers fight for basic supplies and fundraise for calculators while the FB team enjoys anything it needs. Such a waste of a really good body of students. I hope the new Superintendant comes through and puts teachers and students first.

Dear parent, the one who wrote back in feb. About how great this school system is just because her daughter was on home coming court, how do you feel about the great superindendent now and the boe. This school system is nothing to brag about except for most of the teachers, they do a great job.
