My experience at the school was amazing I wouldn't have want to went to any other high school , Tucson High really helped me as a person and made me humble myself I got to meet a lot of new people because i came in knowing nobody and walked out knowing alot the teachers were very kind and sweet they cared for you if you needed someone to talk to . All of my 4 years there was so much fun and recommend it .

when i first entered tucson high i had no friends really and i was just there most of the time sitting alone by a bench and what not , having administration help me out by making friends has helped my social anxiety and my fear of being alone has gone away since now i always have my close friends with me this school had taught me many things i just wish the environment would change , most people see school as a place to fight which is never safe and nobody should be around that

I loved Tucson High. Since the first day I got there it felt like it was just a big family, everyone knew each other there. It was always fun to be there with people that knew me and that I could interact with and have a good time. The teachers I had made it a really fun 4 years for me. One thing that could've really made change for me would be to see change in the sports programs for the coaches to open up and give more opportunity to those kids who are new to them and not always stick to the kids they've had while growing up.

Coming from a sophmore at this school, it's not a place I would recommend. I have ADHD and require some things that most students don't need. Such as more test time, the dates to turn things in should be a little later for me because I have such a hard time focusing. But honestly, the only reason I...

My grandkids chose this school based on what we had heard was a focus on academics. What in reality turns out to be the case, is this place is just another epic failure and misplaced priorities. Teachers that miss substantial days, substitutes that have no access to roll call and as such end up with...
