I love maiden and wish I would have been a blue devil the 4 years of my life. Transferring from Newton really showed me that maiden was the best fit not only athletic wise but teacher wise to.

My experience at Maiden High School has been overall amazing. In a small town, I have been able to become close friends with most of the students there. We're a close knit school and welcome new students with open arms. All of the staff at the school are supportive of your goals and will push you to be your best.

It's hard to be completely objective because I have no gripes with this school really, and as a senior I've grown connected to the staff/faculty, which is easily the greatest part. It's hard to think of a teacher who I dislike, so truly props for them considering how NC teachers are treated. Other than that, there's not much to recommend.

My experience at the school was overall positive but the students could be challenging. There is also an extreme lack of diversity in background, culture, and beliefs.
