Tombstone is an amazing school compared to the schools next to us, and I've had very little bad experiences. There's always bad teachers and students that aren't the greatest, but every school has these things. Our CTE program is top of the top. Especially our JROTC and FCCLA program. Overall, this school is a top choice for me.

My Experience with Tombstone High school throughout my 4 years has been quite interesting. I have learned and achieved so much in such a short time. many factors hold the school. Tombstone High suffers from a lack of diversity and an overall climate issue. Students are regularly disrespectful towards one another, and even the teachers join in on some of the rudeness. However, these factors do not dimmish the entire school, and overall, the school is a nice place to get an education

Tombstone High School was where I found my passion for culinary and track. It was where I made many memories and friends. It was where I found my voice and became a leader among my peers. There are so many great things about this small school that shaped me into the person I am today.
