Cape Hatteras Secondary offered multiple clubs and sports for students to participate in. They go out of their way to offer courses online if they don't have them available to take in person. Overall, Its a really great Secondary School.

I enjoyed my time here. The teachers were highly involved in student education due to how small the school was.

Good student to teacher ratio. Variety of online classes offered. A lot of environmental classes are taught showing students how everything is connected. A decent athletics program for a small school as well as arts and drama.
