I don't recommend this school. Teachers herrass and bully students as a form of discipline. The head of school is very Arrogant when a parent brings complaints about the teachers and school. Teachers are inexperienced.

I just recently came here from another school to finish out my junior/senior year due to Covid. Everyone was very welcoming, staff included, and I had the opportunity to participate in many arts programs here.

I like how well the teachers prepare you for college and how much they care for the students. It is clear that they want students to graduate high school prepared for anything college asks of them. Something I would change is the variety of sports available to the students. There really aren't a lot of different ones to choose from and I think it would be beneficial for students to have the opportunity to try new things.

Treated us terribly and I would never give a cent to a school who treats ANYONE like this. Do yourself a favor and believe the...

HCA has been such a blessing to our family. When we moved here 3 years ago we knew only two family members in the area and HCA became our family. When we came to visit HCA we were nervous to move somewhere so cold but after going to an HCA chapel, we could feel the presence of the Holy Spirit so str...
