Henry Snyder High School is located in Greenville and serves students in ninth through 12th grade. The school works to provide its student body with a research-based, comprehensive and rigorous education.

Students are also given the opportunity to become part of organizations like the National Honor Society, which is promoted at the school as well as within the district. There are many different Advanced Placement courses offered at the high school.

It's been great attending Snyder Hight School. The teachers connect with the children great a make sure their on a correct path all the way up to their senior year.

Throughout my years, it has been very rocky. I want to say it's mainly my fault but it is partially on behalf of the staff. I wish they were more open to giving us help and letting us know that we can stop by anytime. I used to be really nervous to even go into my guidance office or talk to my teachers. I'm not sure if it's because I was extremely shy or because I wasn't made quite aware of the fact that I could ask for help.
