PHS the school of choice for new students

by Tommy Verdon
There are many people who have decided to come to Pittsford High School for the 2008-2009 school year and maybe for the rest of their high school career. PHS may not be for everybody, so why did some of the new kids choose to be here?

Freshman Jacob Eichler is new to PHS, coming from Hillsdale. Jacob came to Pittsford after finding out that some Hillsdale kids aren’t the friendliest. “I got harassed in Hillsdale by a lot of the kids my three years of Junior High,” said Jacob. Jacob was pretty impressed by the teachers. “They’re good, they’re ok,” said Jacob. He really likes the kids more at PHS than he did at HHS. “Well, a lot of the kids here are nicer than when they were back at Hillsdale,” replied Jacob.

Junior Carley Bruner is also new to PHS. Some of the things that she found out to be different about PHS that she liked about the school was that it is “smaller than the last school I went to,” said Carley, who came from Sand Creek. The teachers are one of the things the she has found out to make the classroom experience more enjoyable. “I think it’s more fun; they make it funner for me,” replied Carley. The lunch was one of the many things that she had liked about PHS because it gives her time to talk. The one reason why she decided to come to Pittsford High School was location. “We just moved to the school district and it was the closet school to me,” said Carley.

Freshman Aaron Skursky is new this year to Pittsford, coming from Waldron. He was really thrilled that he could get away from his old school. “I really wanted to get away from Waldron,” said Aaron. The teachers really caught his eye when he walked into the classroom. “They’re better than last year,” opined Aaron. He was really excited about the level of football that we play here at PHS. “I definitely like playing football here,” commented Aaron.Hopefully the experiences continue to be good ones for all the students here, new and old.
