We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I have had a good experience at Tharptown High School. I have had the opportunity to play baseball and run cross-country. I have also been a part of the robotics team and rocketry program for the last 3 years. I have also taken some on-line courses and some dual enrollment classes.
