Staley High School has provided a fun normal high school experience. There is a plethora of clubs and activities, something for everyone to be a part of. I've been a varsity athlete on Staley's swim team for all 4 years. I've been involved in orchestra all of my high school career. I've also had the opportunity to be on my schools yearbook staff for the past 3 years, my senior year being editor-in-chief. Because of Staley I've had the opportunity to be an athlete, as well as participate in the fine and practical arts.

Overall i feel like i had a good experience in my time at staley. The key to enjoying it here is to get involved, high school is all about what you make it.

We’ve had really good experiences at Staley with our first child. Our second child to attend is getting ready to start there and expect it to be the same.

This school has some major issues that need to be addressed and ironed out. My son was the victim of bullying, and my phone calls to the administration were dismissed and didn't appear important to them. They are obviously not on the same sheet of music with each other, either. The principal is subp...
