Some of the best parts are the teachers and how supportive they are. For the most part they are all trying to get you to a place where you will succeed.

Hays High is a great school to learn and be active. Everyone is really nice, all the teachers want the best for you to go and get a better education or to go into the workforce ready. The sports are really good, everyone is active in a sport that they are apart of. All of the coaches are really good at what they do. I'd say my favorite part about Hays High was being apart of the football team. my least favorite experience at hays high was one class. That class was statistics. The only reason i say that is because it was a hard class and different from any other math class I've ever taken. one he upside though it was a college credit Hays High has plenty of different clubs from dungeons and dragons to a trap shooting club. One thing I'd like to see change and is changing right now is for hays high to have their own football field and to be able to host a track meet if they wanted to. Hays High is building a new school with new facilities for that to happen.

My experience at Hays High school has been one of learning which is what it is supposed to be. Every class I go to I do learn something—nothing is useless. But the worst part about the experience is well the school side of it. I'm not a person who likes school. There's really nothing to be changed about that however.

Terrible, I regularly see students verbally attack several other students in the classroom while the teacher does nothing. In the worst case he joined in and threatened to attack a student who was only asking for clarification on an assignment.
