I've been a student in Thorsby High School since 2nd grade and I love this place. It might be small and not known as much, but has amazing teachers that help you actually learn. I wouldn't change anything from Thorsby High School, but if I would have to change something it would be to make this school bigger.

Teachers took a genuine interest in their students. They wanted everyone to succeed and did whatever they could to help. Being a small school, it was limited on the elective classes offered.

My experience at Thorsby High School has been extremely outstanding. The atmosphere is very welcoming and full of great education. The staff are very compassionate about the students who attend. Thorsby has been like a big family for myself, along with many others. Being a small school has not intimidated or interfered with the drive to make students be the best they can be.
