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.

My High School experience at North Augusta High has been a blast. Teachers and staff has been very nice and very helpful to pointing me in the direction I want for my career. I feel like administration could do things much better however I am not them and I don't know how difficult it is. The factuality is almost always mostly clean and it is a nice building. Overall the school has great spirit and its a wonderful place to be.

I transferred to North Augusta at the start of my freshman yeah. I had come from a small-town school with barely more than a 100 students per year level. It was shocking at first, but I soon got comfortable with the school due to the kindness of everyone there.

My experience at North Augusta High school has been such a fun, and memorable time in my 4 years of attending high school. I've enjoyed participating in clubs like S2S, NHS, and Spanish Club. My school's student section is classified to be one of the best, and being part of the student section has to be one the best part of attending North Augusta High School. I love how everyone is so involved with the school, and the teachers are amazing as well.

As a 2009 Graduate, I loved it. I played Football from 9th to 11th grade. What many don't understand and have complained about is that the money spent on any of the sports at school is all raised from the booster clubs, expect the new field that is the only money Aiken County has give to the school...
