The school is very kind and welcoming, offering plenty of opportunities for students to find their passion and pursue their interests.

I started attending Olive Branch High School my junior year after two different High schools my freshman and sophmore year. Out of all the schools I've been to I've loved OBHS the most. I've been able to thrive in academics along with athletics. Administration always makes sure that we are making the most out of all out opportunities making sure we strive towards our goals. I joined my first club at OBHS: spanish club and Interact club. In these clubs I've been able to serve my community through my volunteer work. One of the things i enjoyed the most was being apart of the living wax museum for spanish club. I was able to dress up as the first latino women to join the supreme court justice of the United States. Being able to educate kids younger than me in a fun interactive way was fulfilling. I would have to say the worst thing was losing friends but I learned that to make friends you have to be willing to lose them. I wouldn't change anything but the food.

Olive Branch High School is a big melting pot of students. My experience at this high school was like any other ordinary high school experience, there was no reason to doubt teachers or students, overall everything from classes to after school programs to sports was done well. The only thing I would change is adding classes that deal with subjects outside of the ordinary math, science, history etc.

Great Leadership at this school and all of the Desoto County Schools. The teachers and faculty actually care about their students and it really shows. The building is nice, and the athletic fields are in great shape. Every year I see multiple students in the newspaper for scoring 30+ on their ACT.

This school sucks, the lunch doesn’t have enough chicken and meat. The mandarin chicken is good though, more of that. The some teachers have SERIOUSLY BAD attitudes. The leadership is ineffective.

There are very few good teachers at this school. The new teachers are clueless and the administration is in denial about their lack of teaching ability. Administration was told to hire first year teachers because it saves the district money. My daughter has an English teacher who does not speak corr...

This school is only as good as the principal, vice principal and teachers. I give all a big fat F! These people are in need of serious retraining when it comes to treating all students the same. I would never recommend this high school for any student. I would rater work 3 jobs to put my children in...
