Pittsfield High School

I currently have 2 teenagers in the Pittsfield Middle High School. Both of them enjoy school and are both honor rolls students. My oldest is also on the National Honor Society. They both are involved in sports programs and one is also enjoying drama and band. The teachers take individuals interest in both children and the principal knows all the kids personnally by name. I have been very happy with Pittsfield schools.

I have graduated one child who entered a well acclaimed 4 yr nursing school and another currently in 12th grade doing very well and will enter college in the fall. I have been actively involved in my childrens education here in Pittsfield for 13 years. For a small town of under 4000 this town, school administration and school board have done remarkably well on a very tight budget, considering a faction in the community that acts irresponsible at the school meeting by cutting the budget upwards to $150-200,000 without knowing the consequences it takes on programs. A dedicated group of teachers , administrators, and coaches do what is best and right for all students providing them with a solid foundation to continue their education and become good citizens.

I feel that the school needs alot more parent involvement. We let everyone else run our childrens education, which to some extent is fine. I don't think the principal or the school super have the best interest of the children in mind at all. I have felt we needed more of a hands on approach from the principal as well as the parents. Yes I am a tax payer and yes I attend the meetings and I also follow my childrens school progress and activities.
