We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I had a pretty good time at Tunkhannock area high school. The teachers are very nice and helpful, and the art programs are great, especially the band program. My favorite parts are all the activities the school puts on to get the community involved, like the bonfire. The food used to be not very good but they got a new menu and its a lot better.

I went and graduated from this high school it was not a bad experience but also not a great one. It was very average. I did make a lot of friends and did sports.

I love Tunkhannock. We have an amazing balance between sports, the arts, and shop classes. We have a huge music department, a great school-to-work program, and an amazing program called SCCTC (not really sure what it stands for) that allows people to get certified in a trade like cosmetology or welding. The only thing I don't like is how closed-minded most of the students are.
