Pleasant Grove served the first through eighth grades until 1975 when a new high school was built and North Whitfield was converted to a middle school to serve the sixth through eighth grade students. Pleasant Grove began serving kindergarten students shortly thereafter and remains a kindergarten through fifth grade school today. As a result of the years of evolution, growth, and change, Pleasant Grove exists in three separate buildings. Physical education classes are held in the gymnasium, a separate building moved from Fort Oglethorpe Army Base and reconstructed for the school by the community in 1948. Parental involvement and support is demonstrated by the large PTA membership and the active participation of its members in school activities.
Volunteers respond quickly to any request that is made.
Pleasant Grove continues to achieve high test scores on achievement and norm tests. Expansion in the area of technology has allowed for two or more computers in each classroom. Software is continually updated. An assembly recognizing students attaining honor roll and highest honor roll in grades three through five occurs each six weeks. Programs added to enhance student learning include the SIA program in kindergarten, first, and second, expanded remedial program and daily physical education classes.
