7/18/2025
All in all my high school experience was good. The teachers are friendly and are helpful. They definitely made learning fun!
4/23/2025
I love the all the faculty there. Every single one of them are looking and wanting you to succeed. There are so many resources for any problem you can think of. The sports teams are phenomenal. Many state championships considering how long colony has been open. School reviews over safety at least once a month in case of emergency. Definitely a good school to consider.
4/12/2025
The best part about my school is they dont force me to take a full schedule. I only needed one more credit to graduate this year and they let me have a small schedule. I know of other schools that require a full schedule regardless of amount of credits. The worst part is they required all students to take AP Seminar, a part of the required credits to graduate. This made it hard for the students who tried hard in the class, when they got paired with the kids who obviously didn't try the hardest in school.

We have been very pleased with our son's experience at Colony High School. It has provided him with a safe, solid learning environment and, being new to the mat-su valley, he made great friends quickly. The coaching staff for cross country, nordic skiing, and track are excellent!
5/21/2012
I have a 9th grader and being a KNIGHT has been the best experience EVER for him. He looks forward to school with his peers and really enjoys all his classes. He's involved with hockey and enjoys the coaches and teammates as well. We couldn't be happier with our choice to be a KNIGHT
