I ended up leaving to pursue a full time PSEO with an early entry into a nursing program opportunity, but I genuinely miss the people, staff, and environment. I was involved in football management, tech, and more and loved helping out. Side note. I am still a full time PSEO student (this is my first and last year of PSEO as I am graduating high school as a junior in 2026) but this school was genuinely more challenging (in a good way) than my college classes are. Thanks CA! Go Beacons!!

One of the best things about PHM when it comes to learning is the fine motor skills my children have mastered. As a teacher myself I often see young children entering school that don't know how to hold a pencil, or color, or mash playdough. All because they are not getting these opportunities at home. I love that PHM is a small school and all the teachers know all the kids and all the kids know all the children. I drop my kids off each day knowing they are going to learn and that they are going to be loved, cared for, and kept safe.

I don't really want to sully positive reviews here for negativity, but I was bullied at this school during my time as a student here. Not only from the students (two of whom I was in a toxic friendship with), but the PARAs, teachers and adults who should have known better. I was a disabled student with several family members that died during my junior and senior years, and I was yelled at for crying in class and for having panic attacks that were out of my control, causing increased mental breakdowns throughout the day. This school also has a history of racism and prejudice as a whole, and I had an unpleasant encounter with some students saying homophobic things to another student only to act like it was all a big joke, some other students in my class were joking about prison r*pe and genuinely thought it was funny, and my Mexcian peers were treated horribly by a staff member who I won't name solely because they were Mexican, and another PARA was so islamaphobic to another staff member that they made them cry. The only saving grace were the positive staff members who made my experience worthwhile, namely the receptionist, who I still have yet to call to thank her, my case manager, my writing teachers, and my science teachers. Still, I was afraid to report the toxic friendships I had with the two students I knew here due to the trauma I sustained. The way they treated me was no way to treat a student who experienced several deaths in the family. I would advise against sending your students here, but given the positive reviews others left based on their happy experiences, I would advise you make this decision for yourself and take caution if your child claims their teacher is out to get them because at Hopkins High, that claim may very well be true.
