Onalaska High School doesn't offer much when it comes to preparing students for life after high school. Teachers aren't teaching kids how to apply for scholarships or college. And those students who are not moving on to college are left to fend for themselves, as well. Academics are sorely lacking - students are begging for more opportunities and are just not given them.

I really like the sense of community here, but at the same time, all the sports are very political. The staff is always trying to connect with their students, which is something that I find very important. It is important to students, like myself, to have a strong connection with their teacher in order to achieve everything to their highest potential.

I love going to Onalaska High School The staff truly cares which is amazing. Since it is so small, we are all close and know each other very well. However, the people whos families have lived here their entire lives tend are the only ones who get certain privileges, such as scholarships from the school district.
