I have had an great experience being an olive branch high school student they have taught my a lot and the community is friendly also me being in the band program all I can say is that it's amazing.
12/4/2024
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.
10/31/2024
The best experience I have had OBHS is some of my teacher-student relationship. The worst experience I have had is the lack of counselor-student relationships. I would like for the counselor to promote to the students that they are free to help them in any way.

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.
11/17/2012
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...
