The best experience I've had here has been band. Band is the main reason I'm going to college. I really don't like most of the teachers here. Some are good most are insufferable. The administrators are actually really polite and professional about their job. They strive to do their job and involve parents in student academics and functions.

My time at Terrell High School has been a bitter sweet moment. It hasn't been a terrible experience due to that fact that nothing is perfect. However there are many things that this school could improve on such as academic performance.

Terrell High School was a very good school. Some of the staff were very encouraging & determined go make sure we graduated. The only bad part was the limited resources we had access to because of low government funding due to the area we are in.
