For a small town Hermiston had a decent high school. Most teachers are just their job, but some go above and do try to push students to the next level. Two teachers I had there that inspired me to be more was Mr.Scott and Mr.Fisher.

HHS seems very heavily weighted towards sports, as that's what...

I went to this school 9th and half of 10th grade. Academically, this is an average school. The kids there play mind games all day about who is popular and who is not. I didn't really pay attention to that to much though. For me it was about getting through the day. Because there was nothing to look...

Hands down, one of the best schools I have ever sent my kids to. This school is great, it really focuses on learning.
