I feel very lucky to have gone to such a wonderful Highschool. My experience at Daniel has been nothing short of wonderful. I always felt supported by teachers and staff while also maintaining strong relationships with other students.

Daniel is a great school. Finding classes that challenge you, teachers that encourage you, and extracurriculars that you love makes the school a great place to be. I would love to see more connection within the school walls. More opportunities to connect with each other and with the school as a whole. I would love to see more school-wide activities that don't alienate anyone, but allows all to have fun together.

The only thing that i don't like about daniel is funding for music and drama. It seems as thought the admin only funds sports and not even all of them just football and basketball. I can't remember the last time someone cleaned the arts hall of the building. Or even the bathrooms on that hall. Also cheer is very low funded and all of the equipment is coming out of our own pockets.

My daughter currently goes to Daniel and we think it is a fantastic school. Her grades are great and she loves going to school. If any child loves to go to school the people working there must be doing something good! :-) I was worried about her going to high school, being teased, etc. but that neve...
