I've never really had any bad experiences with Welsh High School. With the teachers and administrators that we have, their excellent work to be on one accord, every problem is resolved in a timely, safe, and respectful manner to all parties involved in whatever situation. My best experience with this school is knowing that my school is big on academics and sports. Parents are very involved with the school and are very supportive of the students. We as a school are as a family.

But, teachers do try and help students as much as they can when asked.
