I have gone to Smoky Valley my whole life. A little over a year ago, I was diagnosed with a chronic illness called POTS. I was so scared I was going to have to go online and as someone who was extremely involved, that terrified me. The administration did an excellent job providing me with accommodations and ensuring that I had the best resources possible to set me up for success. It is a small high school in a small midwest town, so it's not incredibly diverse, but staff has always made me feel welcome.

This school is all around very inclusive, it is very much a place that you can make a mistake and still rebound from it. The teachers are very caring and understanding. They will work with you, if you are struggling. The food is school food, so it is school food. The sports teams are always at a standing that people will respect the athletes. It is a school that most people might drive by and not think much of from the outside, but from the inside it is very easy to call home.

I love how at Smoky Valley I am able to get the help I need from my teachers. I enjoy being able to know all of my classmates and the underclassmen. I have enjoyed my time here very much and would recommend going here or sending your child here.

Smoky Valley is a wonderful school. The size of it allows for small class sizes, as well as for students to be involved in many different activities. However, Smoky Valley still has the resources of a larger school. The music and media technology programs are especially excellent.
