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.

The best parts of going to Donegal High School was the friendships and the teachers. I never had negative experiences that were a result of the school. I would like to see more clubs and more experiences added.

Donegal is a great school, with great teachers and a lot of good classes to choose from. Something I would like to see changed is more recognition for sports.
