The worst part of course was the tragic school shooting on September 4th, 2024. However, they have done so much to improve security. The community was already super strong but only got stronger after that. I have founded a super strong friend group that I never found at my previous high school. Even outside of my friend group I still feel a sense of belonging from those who I'm not as close with. Going to Apalachee might look rough but it is truly a blessing.

There are several factors that make a great school: supportive teachers, engaged admin, parental involvement/support & relevant curriculum. Apalachee HS has none of these. Progressive teachers pushing personal agendas, in fighting of staff & a do as I say, not as I do mentality is what your children...
