4/11/2025
My favorite part of Hickory High is 100% the athletics, as a student athlete I really felt engaged whilst playing sports and found myself building a family and special with my teammates and coaches that I don't think I would've found anywhere else. The worst part is probably the administration, yeah they are pretty laid back and chill to help the student feel comfortable but they definitely don't handle problems completely how there supposed to and that leads to a lot of conflicts breaking out. Something I wanna see changed is the layout of the school the school is great it just feels bland like copy and paste in every hallway it just needs some things to make it pop.

12/3/2014
As a parent of two students who have gone through Hickory High School, I am saddened to say that I am very disappointed with the education that my second child has received. It's as if some of the teachers there do not care whether the students understand the material or not. The state needs to revi...

The administration does not care about its students unless they are basketball or football players or unless the have money. I was bullied non stop and they would listen and when they finally did and expelled the kid but the moment they found out I was gonna transfer they quickly decided to let him...

2012-2013 was a new year for Hickory High! The new administrative team, faculty and staff restructured and reorganized the entire school! The 2013-14-school environment is structured to support a rigorous academic program, state champion athletic program and the some of the counties finest art initi...
4/6/2011
Excellent teachers will only be found in the honors classes - the new principal seems to only be after his "personal" agenda. The students never see him at school. Leadership seems to magnify the students with minor homework/dress issues and overlook drugs and bullies. Academic programs and clubs ar...
