Concord High School by far is the most amazing school i've attended as i am nearing my final semesters at concord high i believe that it has given me and so many others many opportunities. Admin and teachers helped guide my path to what i want to do in the future and helped me build my dream of getting my associates in criminal justice. Concord high CCP pathway is helping me earn credits for my diploma in criminal justice for Rowan Community College.

One thing that I enjoy at Concord High is the variety in extracurriculars the school offers. Its a great way to meet new people and get involved in giving back to the community. While it's sad that I can't join every club I want to, due to overlapping schedules, I enjoy the memories I get to make with others.

Some of the best parts of concord have been getting to know my teachers and looking forward to seeing them. Some of my worst experiences have been taking classes with no friends in them. Some things I would like to see change is school spirit participation and higher attendance at sporting events.

I enjoyed attending Concord High. I was in the IB program and liked the challenges those courses gave me. Though I cannot attest for standard classes, I know the teachers I had were excellent and they helped me tremendously. I also love the school spirit here, especially when it comes to our rival....

The guidance counselor is literally the only thing good about this school. Racial bias plays a large role in everyday learning as does athletic ability. If your child is not into sports, or is white, best of luck to you.
