I graduated almost 7 years ago and I still remember it like yesterday. I always struggled in school when I was younger: academically, with teachers, with bullying. I never had a single issue at Challenger. They treat you like the young adult that you are and reward you for going above and beyond. I graduated at 21, not only with a 3 year old, but also with honors. Something I never thought I could or would ever do.

The teachers at challenger secondary school truly care about their students . Most students who attend this school are working more than one job to support their family of are students who don't do well at other schools or have health problems . The teachers are aware of this and are accommodating yet form in their teaching practices . If it wasn't for these teachers I would not be attending pacific Lutheran university now.

I would definetly choose this school again because I originally attempted spanaway lake highschool but I got ill and spent a month in the hospital and my straight A's turned into straight F's and even though I had a 504 plan I was not allowed to make anything up so I went to challenger and they helped me get my GPA up and where supportive and had a great staff.

My niece attended Challenger because her high school expelled her for not attending class, being disorderly, etc. She was in "bad girl" mode at the time so the school district sent her there. Niece told us the kids don't care there, no one does anything if they don't have to, drugs are shared along...

I've been going to this school since 9th grade. I'm now in 11th. I first started here because I didn't like how long regular school days are. Now that I've been going here I went from C's to pretty much all A's. I also hated school in general when I first started going and now I enjoy going to schoo...

As a soon to be graduate of Challenger, I really enjoyed going to this school. I believe this school is not recognized as much as it should be. It offers great alternatives for students who can not attend a traditional high school. 90% of the staff here is wonderful including, Ms. Love (secretary),...

I am a proud graduate of Challenger school class of 1993. At this school there were no peer pressure or pressure at all from staff, academics or anything. This school made me who I am now an Arson Investigator in my hometown and considered an expert witness to any and all fire/arson related investig...
