Cary high was my home that encouraged me throughout the four years of my stay to become someone who could make mistakes and learn from them. Not only to be wiser but to take control.

All around great school! No place is perfect and we expect that. But the music department was lacking from other schools my son attended which was disappointing.

Cary High School is a very good school academically, but it is the oldest in the state and does need some renovations done in order for the school to feel better for the students.

I had the opportunity to transfer to another school after my sophomore year, but I did not take it. I wish I would have, as this school became the reason I no longer have a passion for music.
