COMPARISON BETWEEN PHS AND PAA:
There are many differences between PHS and PAA. One school is not “better” than the other. The delivery of instruction, the pace, and the focus on life skills and employability are some things that separate PAA from PHS. Expectations are very high at the Academy and in order to earn a diploma students will have to work for it. Students will need to be focused and determined in order to cover all the material they will need to earn credits.
