The teachers at Fletcher High School are absolutely amazing. They go above and beyond to ensure our success. However, one thing I would change is that they are not strict. Children are constantly wandering the halls or walking off of the campus instead of attending their classes.

My experience with Duncan U. Fletcher was great. The staff, faculty, and teachers all helped me get the education that I needed in order to get my diploma. While, also giving me help about my future and ways to get into college through the bright futures program the school offered multiple opportunities to give me a chance to have the best future possible.

Fletcher is a great school with wonderful teachers. There are many classes to choose from. If I had to change anything it would be to pave the dirt lot so cars aren't always dusty and dirty. There are a lot of clubs and sports and activities to get involved. The school is good at communicating. The principal is a great leader.
