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 really liked my time at Herculaneum High school. I was very involved and loved being apart of my school community! I would change the lunch food.

Herculaneum is like home. Once you get here, you realize how much of a family we really are. Yes we may be a small school but I believe that's what makes us close. This is my senior year and all I know is, I will not consider this my last year. I will always come back, to see the shows, the games. There is so much about this school that is just unforgettable.

I enjoyed my experience at this school overall but it was overshadowed by a lack of educational teaching and missed chances. Due to the small size of the school, I missed out on a lot of chances that students in a larger school receive. I still passed with flying colors and landed myself in a great college.
