I love Olton High School because it's a small school and everyone gets along with each other. Anybody in the student body or adults in faculty are willing to help in a time of need. The only thing I would like to change is that we have too many rules, and not enough leeway to stand out physically.

I've been going to Olton school's since I was in pre-school. It has been an amazing experience, it is very hard to believe that I am graduating this year and moving off to college. It makes me a little sad to leave but I know that for all the younger kids under me, it makes me look like a great role model. It has truly been the best experience ever. We have amazing teacher, and the students that go here aren't bad either,it's like we a big family.

I have attended Olton High School for three years, and I am about to finish my fourth year. I love the atmosphere and how well one can communicate with the teachers. I wish that there were more opportunities for students when they pick classes for the following year.
