Being at Blair has opened a wide variety of people, and cultures to be exposed to. Im glad that i joined the school, and able to meet the people that I have.

Blair has a very wide array of class choices, even for those not in the Communications Arts or Math, Science, Computer Science magnets. It is easy to find challenging courses. The band and orchestra programs are truly outstanding. It's a huge school, though. If you're looking for a small, intimate high school experience, choose another option in the DCC.

No one group predominates here, as is, unfortunately, the case at the other area high schoo...

This school is way too big, way too impersonal and unresponsive to student needs. I have found many teachers think grading work and entering on Ed-line is optional. The glorified magnet programs brutalize the students with massive amounts of homework that the administrators claim is an exaggeration;...
