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 would really enjoy to see a change in the school menu. Although they give many different food items, I feel as though most students would rather have better and more seasoned food.

Cedar Shoals High School is a very interactive school. The students make the school. We share our personalities, create our own clubs, and express ourselves.

To be honest this is my first year here and i love it. i can get the information i need and the staff really cares about whether or not the student moves forward in life. the only thing i would change about this school is the amount of talking they do at the student instead of with them. (students need to put in the effort as well)
