Overall, the school culture is not awful. I think that students would really benefit from college prep courses as well as advisors for seniors. It is really important that seniors know how to apply to scholarships and such things like that, however, they don't. I think we really need some more support in these areas.

My experience at Hatch Valley High School is not a forgettable one, as I've had many fun experiences here as well as bad experiences. However, I couldn't ask for any other High School life as it is a relaxing atmosphere as well as a supportive one. The teachers here care about student safety and student needs, and they try their hardest to help each student as best as they can.

I would like to see changes, unfortunately we don't have as much opportunities like other schools do. My experience at this school were very fun. Everyone is very nice, the teachers are very respectful and its a very small schools.
