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.

At Holcomb High School the community is amazing. I have good teachers and my fellow classmates are always there to help me when I need it. I really enjoy English I think it mostly has to do with the fact that I enjoy reading a good book every once in a while. I however have struggled in math throughout high school. I wouldn't really want to change anything about my school or high school experience.

As I've grown to attend the different grades, I can see that each year we welcome more students. They usually come from large populated areas and seeing them switch to a more quaint place as Holcomb has people questioning to why here. It's always the grand hope that we have helped them accommodate while pardoning our small school as it's humble. It's a great experience to be able to recognize faces without being overwhelmed.

I like how there's a small amount of students so most of teachers work better with the students. Something that would be nice for a change is having more classes to choose from.
