Overall, it's a very good school. They have a number of opportunities for kids to choose paths that set them up for future success in college. Plenty of AP courses. Good sports programs.
11/20/2024
Overall, Hough High School gives students the resources an tools needed to have a succesful education. I have had some good years and some not so good years whether it be a teacher, a medical leave of absence or mental health related issues. I have had a decent amount of support from some staff however I feel as if the school is lacking on putting the students first and believeing us if something is not right. Hough is a good school and I would recommend it, every school has its flaws as does W.A. Hough High School.
11/18/2024
Hough has been an amazing place for me to grow as a person and find the things I find the most passion in. I have connected with sports, clubs, leadership activities, and so much more. I love the inclusivity of my school and how easy it is to make connections with friends but also teachers. I wouldn't give up my highschool experience for the world and they are memories I will forever cherish.
