As a parent to an IB student, I must applaud the director, Ms. Lo, as well as Ms. Gorham and several other gifted teachers. Your dedication to the program is out of this world!
PAHS, the edifice itself, needs its long awaited facelift...although we know that will never happen. In the meantime, PAHS continues to be a top school in the area, and for good reason. You get what you put into life, and the kids here are taking full advantage of all the great opportunities available to them.

Great school over all, teachers are all very fun and very aware of their students and their needs, but their is a HUGE difference in the quality of education when it comes to the international baccalaureate program and the zoned students, the school will always preference the academy students over the zoned students.

Princess Anne High School is an excellent learning facility for those who want to go above and beyond in the future. Princess Anne, home of the cavaliers, a rich and enjoyable environment for all people, including myself. School events which take place here are one-of-a-kind, an experience which should never be taken for granted. The school spirit this school has is unmatched, with lively students wherever you go. Not to mention the amazing faculty, who are eager to assist students with any needs necessary. The most important factor which makes Princess Anne stand out so much is access to the International Baccalaureate program, which I had the honor of taking. A highly rigorous program which challenges students to think analytically is a good path to take to prepare for college. Princess Anne High School will be engraved into my memories, the achievements and struggles I have faced while coming here will never be forgettable.
