DeQueen High School is a place where diversity is not only present but also celebrated. We have students from many different backgrounds and cultures, and everyone is accepted for who they are. Our school is special because there truly is something for everyone. Students are encouraged to participate in different activities and teachers work together to make it happen. I don't think there is anything I would change about my school. My experience has been wonderful, and I have truly enjoyed being here during my high school career.

It was a very nice experience, everybody knows everybody. It's a good facility, with great staff members that would help without being asked. The best thing about this school, is their homecoming parade, they go all out. The worst is that there a little too strict about the phones, dress code, and lunch. Hopefully they change their lunch menus because there always the same.

I like my school. I do however wish we had more opportunities for more clubs. I also wish we did not spend so much money on a losing football team.
