While attending Dierks highschool the best thing about going to school here would be the fact that since it is small everyone will know each other and u could feel like a big family. On another handits funding isn't good which in turn has the equipment being subpar,outdated, or just lacking.

What I've always liked most about my school is the smaller size. One of the biggest improvements needed is with the lack of teaching from some teachers. Several students who have graduated from my high school have struggled in college. There are not enough high level classes to help prepare students for college.

I have been at Dierks High School and elementary my whole school career. I love this school and all the things that happen here. We have the most school spirit even though our teams seem to be in a slump. This school is a place that I will never forget because it has taught me everything I know. The teacher treat you like family and never skip a beat to help you with anything.
