I have loved my experience here. There are many dual enrollment opportunities. There is a big emphasis on ACT success. I wish we had a nicer school, but I can tell they are trying to improve it.

I love how well we support one another throughout the students and facility. When any type of sport or club advances in playoffs, regional, debates, etc. However, I would change how some sports get more noticed then other clubs or sports.

I have, overall, had a great experience with Cherokee County High School. My school has always felt like a family which is what I love about it. I think that my school's administration could improve greatly.

There are a couple of really good instructors. The rest punch the clock and really do more harm than good. There are a lot of really good kids in the community but they are totally unmotivated by the school and the teachers.
