Houston County High School really cares about the students well being. They have fun activities and classes that fully emerge the students into, and there is never a dull moment. The environment is friendly and we even get rewarded on holidays by getting to do fun things and sometimes even walking through the school getting candy for Halloween or Christmas.

Great learning environment, nice teachers, and a very welcoming place. Everyone is friendly and will always lend a helping hand.

I liked the school being small and not having to deal with problems at other big schools like having two stories, or a butt load of drama and everyone knows everyone which is usually good but sometimes not so good. I would change walking time, mandatory "healthy" eating, and 30-minute time altogether. I don't see a point in any of the above.
