My kids do well in Pemberton.

I attended pre-first,first through eighth grade and ninth grade at Pemberton High School #1.I then attended Ossi Vo-Tech in Medford (a magnet school) until Spring Break 1985.My test scores were very high and I was bored with school however High School was better because it had a more adult theme,job training.Well I went to work with a landscaping firm and have been having a long period of unemployment I hope soon though to either be employed or able to live with unemployment.Sincerely Suzy Cronk
