I recently came to this school and it completely changed my school experience. Everyone was so positive and welcoming to me amd made me feel comfortable when starting at Hershey High School. I suggest this school for everyone, having good education , great teachers and staff.

Hershey has many good resources available for students ranging from materials provided to students to the courses offered.
