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.

Going to school at Olpe High School has been a wonderful experience. I think the best part of going to school at Olpe is the teachers. The teachers work to help you and they notice if you are struggling with something. I think the worst part would probably be how much we idolize sports. Some kids might feel left out just because they don't play a sport.

The staff and students are amazing. They actually care about the individual student and their life. To them, you are not just another body in the classroom.

I loved the family feels to my highschool. I always knew that my friends and teachers were there for me whenever I was in need of them. I would like to see an equal focus on clubs as their main focus lies in sports. We take a lot of pride in our achievements, but the Olpe community is known for sportsmanship and humble character. There are all things I love about my community and school.
