I personally had a pretty good experience throughout my high school career. One thing I liked most was everyone knows each other and you have small classes. You get to know all your teachers very well as they follow you through high school and lots of them end up being your coach in one sport or another. I do wish they would offer more elective classes.

I enjoyed my time at Blue Earth Area High School, because it felt welcoming. Being based in a small town made my education very personal and I felt that the faculty cared personally about my success. It is a place where you know everyone by name and people are always willing to help.
