I went to Thayer my high school years. I participated in a few clubs. Most teachers are friendly and helpful. The food is awful, though.

Thayer High School is a very small school with 50 students in the graduating 2020 class. All of my teachers know who I am and are very helpful. The schools strict no bullying policy has made this school a safe and enjoyable place. There's nothing that really comes to mind when thinking about what I would like to see change because it is a fantastic and very welcoming school.

It is a small school so there were not many options as far as advanced classes. But the ones that we had were tough.
