Pioneer High School

Teachers think they are high schoolers with their favorites, No way I would send my kids there, after being able to see first hand what its like. Try any of the other high schools nearby!

I went to a football game at Pioneer High School in Whittier, CA on 9÷3÷2015. I’ve been here a couple of times before. The 1^st time was back in 1971 (no kidding!). This time it was the Lancers Bowl — the host La Serna Lancers defeated the visiting Lakewood Lancers 21 – 19 in a closely contested and well played game. Parking was $ 5.00, entry was $ 8.00 and there were no programs sold. Plus, I took photos.

Well it’s kinda hard to follow after my fellow Unilocal friend. (I’m kidding).
Seriously feeling nostalgic, I had to write a short review of my former high school. Back in the early 80’s (1982 to be exact), I had the privilege of going here. I also had the honor of going to summer school (making up a class & Driver’s Ed when they use to offer it), the honor was sitting in assembly to listen to our former 40^th President Ronald Reagan speak about our school being one of the «Exemplary». Good times, good memories for me.
Now after having children, I did everything I could to not have them go there, I say that knowing that other former classmates having done the same exact thing. It is not a bad thing not to want your children to go to the very same High school you went to. It’s just that you have expect more for them — something almost all of us as parents all agree on.
So that is where my review is at. Memories of a era that I’ll never see again. And w/​one other former classmate, now a teacher at nearby college, stated since our former principal during that period retired, its just not the same.
But, I cheer on the young that have attended or attending. Go Titans!

I went here for 6 months back in the 80’s and hated every minute at this place. ugh. bad memories.
