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.

My experience with Shepherd High School was a terrific one. With small class sizes I was able to get the attention I needed to succeed. I took a variety of free dual enrollment classes through the school and was able to graduate with 32 credits. Excellent school.

I've Attended this school since 6th grade and have grown to know most everyone in my class on a personal level and not just someone that i go to school with.
