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.

I liked how small the classes where. It's a great environment. Since there are less students teachers where able to work one on one more often than at a big school. Learning was easy due to this. They truly try their best to keep students on track and on top of their grades.

I love how the school tries to get everyone involved in activities. Homecoming week is always the best part of the school year. There are activities to do every day.
