I gained a fun education at Stevens. The teachers are nice and understanding and very helpful. The food isn't the best but some days lunch was pretty good! My coaches were some of the best people I ever worked with and still talk to now. It was easy to learn and actually enjoy it!

Great school, a lot of fun memories. Worst part was not having the full freshman experience due to Covid-19 so that sucked. The only thing change I'd like to see is more school spirit and allowing students to have a bit more leeway.

My high school experience is with Cast Teach located inside of Stevens High School so far this year has been amazing, The best parts of our school would be the separation we have in our building as well as our staff and counselors. We have the chance to take UTSA classes starting next year. We also have access to a lot of extracurriculars and clubs established both at stevens and at cast
