While I was in Independence High School it was a very fun time because of the school spirit and the people that I met during my 4 years at high school. The sports team are very interactive and care about the sport and the team.

To begin, the school for the majority part is clean but does not seem that cheerful and bright of a campus. The academics however are significantly good for what they are able to provide for the students.

Independence High School has provided me with an amazing high school career I am proud I got to experience. The teachers can be very difficult sometimes, but I do appreciate how the school provides the resources for students that need a little more help.

There have been multiple times I have been asked if I wanted to vape with people or do morally incorrect things. There were once 4...

My son graduated from Independence High in 2010 then went to UC. He graduated from medical school years ago and is a physician now. A couple of his school friends are physicians or pharmacists too. School faculty is important. Students and parents know what they want is also important.
