It was overall an okay experience. There aren't very many clubs offered and the sports teams often lack funding and resources. The teachers are great however, they're very caring and supportive. The building itself is very old and outdated. Hallways can become very cramped because of how small the building is as well. Hopefully in the future this school improves. However, it is currently not up to standards.

As a student whose been involved with the community of hermitage high school and is apart of the humanities center and other clubs within the school. I can say for certain that Hermitage is an incluse and diverse school brimming with opportunities for young students. The schools staff makes sure to make lessons applicable to daily life and accessible for students who struggle with English not being their first language. Many teachers provide an education that reaches beyond a high-school learning and provides young adults with meaningful connections and experiences.

But with that inclusivity comes mediocrity and lots of it. 95% of students obviously do not care nor put in any effort,...

It sure would be nice if you had more than half of your reviews in the last decade. One review since the pandemic is pretty weak. Thankfully, it is a positive one. I imagine taking stock of schools in any location is a tough endeavor, but I would likely try to keep things up to date.

Hermitage High School was a great place for my son who is now serving in the US Navy. The JROTC program is class act along with staff.
