Academically, my experience here at Perkiomen Valley High School was great. Amazing
teachers which such diverse personalities and great backgrounds in educational careers.
They show their dedication through their brilliant teaching skills and have showed me that they
are willing to work with me if I ever find myself struggling. I have been taught to work inde-
pendently and rely on my own mind which has built my confidence that goes into my academic
performance.
