My time at Dyer County High School has gave me very few problems, most teacher there are patient and understanding. Clubs, organizations, and sports are very competitive and there is always something to do. The best part of my experience with this school thus far has to be the community, you hardly ever here about anyone getting bullied and most times if you need help somebody will help you whether you know then or not. The worst part had to be the nurse, you have to put in a for to go see her and most of the time you never hear back from her. I would like to see us get a few more nurses to help lighten her load.

I'm a senior at DCHS, and I'm new to Tennessee, but I already made friends that are like family. It's a very family friendly atmosphere and an excellent learning environment.
