Pine View has a rich tradition of providing students with an enriched, challenging academic program in which excellence is fostered, attained and celebrated. Pine View has been consistently recognized at both the state and national level as one of the country’s top public high schools. The student experience at Pine View is unique. In a community of over 1,700 gifted students a culture that prizes intellectual and academic inquiry and accomplishment is nurtured. Extensive opportunities are provided for students to explore their creative and leadership potential. Empowering students to make a difference in the lives of others is a tradition of which Pine View is exceptionally proud.
