Cedar High School has been such a wonderful school for me to attend. I have loved going here and am sad to leave it this coming May. I would strongly encourage others to attend this school as it has lots of fun activities, learning experiences and opportunities provided to everyone.

I am currently a senior at Cedar City High School and have gone there for all four years of my high school experience. I have visited many sports games, matches, and clubs. I have enjoyed the experience with all my friends and classmates. You can go to any of the school events by yourself and end up having a good time and finding someone you know or be welcomed by other classmates. I have had a great experience overall.
