Tolleson High School which I attended, before graduating in 2021, was a big change when going from other schools, good and bad. I met many various kinds of people there, many helpful faculty and teachers some of whom I had good connections with throughout my time there, same with some students. The school's academics did vary from subject to subject and so did who taught it, but did aid me in becoming ready for college and work life outside of school.

I am extremely grateful for the opportunities I received during my first year at Tolleson Union High School. I hope that this year will be different in many ways. As always I will continue to strive for more not only as a student, but as a person.

The same teachers also make sure every student gets the help they need whether...

I am very disappointed in the education my daughter has recieved. I don't know if they pride themselves in having super seniors year after year. I know if she would attended a school on the east valley.

District is worried more about it's image to the public than their corrupted teachers.
