I love going to Damascus High School. I love the people that are surrounded by me throughout my school day. I love the support we get from our teachers and the staff. I also love the energy and how it always safe and comfortable throughout my day . I never fear when going to school

My best part about my experience at Damascus High School has been my involvement in the theater program and prom committee. The worst part about my experience at Damascus High School has been that I haven't seen many parents involved with things going on at the school.

I would definitely like to see more diversity in Damascus and better education about diversity. Damascus is a small, country town. Students there need to be better taught on inclusiveness and appropriate language. The best parts is the sports and community. Since it is a small town, everyone is very supportive of the high school. Everyone shows up for the football games every week and they are always so fun. I played sports in high school and loved my teams so much.
