We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I love Excel High School because, the staff and teachers are all very nice and helpful with the students. The students are well prepared for college or going straight into the work force after graduating.

I am proud to be a Excel Panther.
