Some people (and students themselves) had the opinion that PTS was a school for drop outs - those who couldn't make it academically. I joined because I wanted to pursue a career in Electronic Engineering. I found that the school neither focused on academic nor athletic excellence. It was almost as if the school was just getting by.

Discipline was an issue - adding to the already poor image of the school. I believe that if discipline were less of an issue that there would have been more drive and opportunity for extracurricular activites, more focus on academics (and that means excellence in techncial subjects as well as in the sciences and mathematics) and sport.

I do recall having some really good, dedicated educators.

If only sports wer taken seriosly, and parents knew that the school is not a dump site for them to dump their kids, the school would be one of the best in pheonix. it is the only tecnical school, providing practical learning as well
