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 high school experience was normal. I wasn't very involved with my school other than some groups but I believe I had a normal high school experience. I was involved in the Covid shut down which played a huge part in my experience in high school. I started working when I was 16 so I was apart of a class called work experience which allowed students to have two classes of towards the end of school to go to work which is what I did. I was also involved in sports, and I was on the school soccer team. We won the valley championship and went to the finals after our championship win but was not victorious. I believe I had a caring high school and I am very greatful for the staff and faculty.

I have had a good experience overall at this school, although, as someone who wants to major in film the school does not give much for options for artists. They have amazing sports and business programs but for artists there's only one class and that's it. There academics are amazing but I wish they did more for students taking an interest in film and art.

I liked the school campus it is newly updated and the classrooms are nice. I think something that could change would be the diversity at the school since there isn't a big emphasis on it there

This is a terrific H.S. You can also take fuel credit courses on campus and receive college credit. The local community college is next door and helps the HS students prepare for their next steps. The campus is beautiful and clean. Great School!
