At Dickinson High School I've had a decent experience as far as High school goes. I have friends and great teachers as well as enemies and some less than great teachers. But that is with any High School. I would say what sets us apart from the rest is our CTSO programs which aren't available at other schools around our area.

Honestly, I think Dickinson High School is a really good school to attend like all schools no school is perfect but Dickinson has a variety of people and personalities you will meet as well and there is always something to do/attend at this school whether that be Friday night football games or watching the band make it state(btw our band made it to state!) but there are so many wonderful opportunities.
