We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I've been going to Cedar Shoals for 3 years now, (I'm a junior) and I love it. Some people hate it but I think it's because of the differences in everyone's experience. There are fights every now and then, but it's not that crazy. Some teachers really make an effort to teach and I appreciate them.

Over all I enjoyed my time there; but going through 2 years where the school was shut down was challenging. Many of my class didn't really get to experience Highschool at it core.We are trying to make up for lost opportunity , like going to games, having pep rallies, club meetings,and attending school parties.Hopefully the next chapter of our life is memorable.
