Pontiac High School

Candi Cain: outstanding teachers and the majority of the administrative staff is great for the kids. communication from the school has improved, but still has room to grow. The school is very good about exposing students to the latest technology to help prepare them for their future. The school could focus a little more on the student's needs and a little less on state standards and tests
