I just recently transferred to Lyons High School my Senior year of High School after my dad got a job at the high school. I had previously heard bad things about the town but I have made so many positive people that have helped me. I also have had mentors in the staff guide me towards my future.

Lyons gives a great opportunity to get involved throughout high school. The teachers are very good and show that they only want the best for us students. Lyons I feel like is not getting me ready for college, it is getting those who are going straight into the work force a great oppotunity to get a job after graduation.

I liked the sense of small community and how everyone was friends with everyone. The administration is very businesslike in the sense of they treat every student as if they are their co-worker. While I am glad to have gon to Lyons High School I found the curriculum to not be demanding and grueling fo myself. Since the school is very small a variety of extracurriculars and AP classes are not offered to the higher students. The school tended to favor the lower to average students. I am glad to have attended Lyons High School and I belive it happened for a reason.
