I have really enjoyed attending Portage Highschool. The teachers here are amazing and will try their absolute best to help you thrive and suceed

Now, when it comes to act...

It's a big school, so there are definitely all the problems that are usually present when you get a ton of teenagers together. However, the opportunities available at this school are fantastic. Athletics are great, but the opportunity for dual credit classes is phenomenal.
