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 On another handits funding isn't good which in turn has the equipment being subpar,outdated, or just lacking.

I have been to three different schools and Dierks has been the best. They are there to help you and teach you need to know things. I enjoy going there and even though its a Highschool, they are willing to help with my college work and my scholarships and help me fill them out.
