At Arcola High Scool I have appreciated the amount of effort that the teachers give in to making sure that you are ready for college. They always give us the offer to ask them any questions we may have regarding college and that is something I can appreciate. Even with average sport opportunities, the amount of joy that you see from the community is like nothing I have ever seen anywhere else and I have come to really enjoy being a part of it.

The school nurse is located in the elementary section of the school so it's a hassle to walk all the way down there, especially if you don't feel well. All visitors have to come in through the high school office and be used in by the secretary. They also have to be signed in and out.
