I am a senior at Alcona High School and, through the years I have found Alcona to be a great place to grow up and find the things I love, to know the teachers would do whatever they can to not only help you do the best you can but also to prepare you for your future is one of the best things in the world. The sports teams have accomplished a lot in the last few years and Alcona has added a few more clubs and other sports that they used to not have, I definitely have loved the experience and I think Alcona deserves a four out of five stars.

The thing that I love about Alcona high school is that it's small enough that you know everyone on a personal level and can become friends with a freshman when you're a senior. The only thing that I would like to see change is for students to be pushed more and have more rigorous classes to help prepare them for college and the real world.

We use to have a strength and speed class that was very important to our sport's programs. But, that was changed last year to movement of teachers. School spirit is ok, but it is not like it use to be.
