Shepherd High School has been a good 3-year experience for me. It has a welcoming and friendly culture that accepts everybody who enters the school. The sports here are something I wish could change. Coaching is bad in almost every sport, with favoritism and abuse of players. But the player culture and friends you make from the sport are good and usually long-lasting.

Shepherd high school is a very fun and unique school. Though it is pretty small with about 50-60 kids per class it is so nice to have close relationships with everyone and you are able to know everyone in your grade. It is also super nice because the small amount of student you have such a close relationship with the teachers and they are all so nice and willing to help any time. Shepherd has many clubs and sports and there is a list of involvement and success in both. The only down part about the small school is the lack of ap and honors classes. Yess we have many but not as many as most schools. I love shepherd and have enjoyed my experience there and highly recommend.
