I like Buckeye Union High School overall. I was and am involved in many sports that I loved doing. The clubs and extracurriculars really give you the opportunity to make friends and connect with more people. The best parts of my experience was sports and the worst experiences have been some fights on campus and crowded hallways. I would like to see more elective options and more class periods and less time in them.

I joined Buckeye Union when I was in sophomore year and I've had a very pleasant experience. The teachers are nice and willing to help out. The campus is neat, and the students are lively. What I would like to see change is more color to the school.

My son goes to Buckeye and is involved in several extra-curricular activities. He loves the FFA/ag. program. He is in honor classes and plays varsity sports. This administration is great and supports both teachers and students.

I went to BUHS and just graduated may 2013. This school is amazing. however all schools have their flaws, as well as teachers. Athletics are strongly supported, while the fine arts are thrown aside and put on the farthest back burner possible. I was involved in theatre, marching band, concert band,...
