We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

It was an average school system that accomplished what it sought to do. The biggest change that could be made would be a system more dedicated to protecting students. The number of times I watched my younger sisters get bullied by other children and saw the administration do nothing to combat what was going on was insane. You can't preach that you're for the children and turn a blind eye when they're struggling not to drown.

Overall my experience at Minden High School has been extremely pleasant. I was homeschooled up until my Junior year and Minden helped me adjust to the different life of a public schooler and encouraged me to try many new activities such as One Acts and Speech

Overall, Minden High is a very nice school. We just got a brand-new building with a new theater, gymnasium, and shop classrooms. The school's teachers are well-qualified to teach and are always ready to help with anything. The administration does an excellent job of making every student feel included. With a wide range of classes and extracurricular activities, there is truly something for everyone at Minden High School.
