My experience with this school has been good and bad. Some of the teachers there only care about the higher up kids and majority have favorites. Our school only cares about are sports and no other school activities. I do have many teachers that do show lots of care and support for my future. I wish are school showed more diversity and taught us more about respecting our peers and their surroundings. I also think our school could show more support to kids who are struggling. Have more open discussions about the lgbtq community.

As Hamilton is a smaller town, the school is shockingly above the curve. It offers quite a lot of AP courses and dual enrollment classes. The staff and student body are really friendly and supportive, and provide a "homey" atmosphere where you can be yourself. The school itself is slightly understaffed but they are working on fixing that issue. As a senior, I can say that growing up and attending Hamilton High School was an enjoyable learning experience.
