I wish we had more school spirit. I see other schools having phenomenal pep-rallies and assemblies, but at David Crockett no one participates nor do they care. The best word to describe our school is bland. The walls are bland, the classes are bland, and the days are bland. Other than that DCHS is alright. The teachers can be a bit bipolar. Sometimes they are super understanding, other times they are not. I suppose it's just the luck of the draw.

Horrible administration and school board. I would change them all. Best experience is some of the good teachers.

The school was nice and always clean. The teachers, generally speaking, were knowledgeable but often obviously tenured with their work ethic. Many teacher spoke openly of their political and religious beliefs and open debate was encouraged.

I have grandchildren attending DCHS. I pick my grandson up as a car rider in the afternoon. It is so nice to see him smile and see the excitement he has about going to school. No arguments about getting homework and he is excited about going back to school the next day. He talks about things he did...
