My experience at Cherokee trial high school has been amazing the community is so big a supportive. They have such good classes and resources to be involved in school activates for all grades. Thye have so many community events outside of school. As a senior they have led me and guided me with the best advice about college, and it has helped me so much. I will always be grateful I got to spend my junior and senior year there.

It's a good school. The teachers have been available and helpful in academics and in guiding my daughter down the path they believe is right for her. Their resources for post high school life seem to be really good so far also!

I certainly was not a delinquent, yet I was lumped into those group of students, being deemed undeserving of attention or care. Because I am a minority, I was not treated with the same respect t...
