Plant city is a highschool involving everyone and always including everyone. There are so many sports and clubs you are able to join and atleast one of them will interest you or have something you can enjoy. Plant city highschool is involved with their students, they always have fun activities for example spirit week, hat day, and club days. Plant city high is a great school with great faculty members, teachers, students, and even the lunch ladies and guys are super nice. I’ve never had a bad experience with the school and I enjoy being there. Plant city has many great programs for example allied health assisting. This programs helps you earn a certificate that can later help others earn a job in the future. Plant city highschool always ensures that the students feel safe and take everything seriously because they care about the students. The people in plant city highschool always listens to your concerns and never leaves you or anyone unheard. I enjoy being at plant city highschool!!!

The best part about plant is probably the football games. Everyone gathers together wearing similar things for school spirit and the chants are crazy. There are usually over 800 people per game. However with all the students and parents involved in football games barely any participate in other sports like soccer , track, volleyball and basketball.

I met the best friends of my life at Plant. As a school in general, plant is one of the best public schools you could ask for, when compared to others. The parents are really involved in the things that go on, most of the teachers seem to care about you and your education, there honestly are every resource you could need to get ready for college and life after highschool in general. the only issue is that there are always problems in the bathrooms so they lock the doors and you have to walk across the school to find one that's open.
