I loved going to Davis!! It was such a wonderful part of my life being there. I enjoyed dancing with a club that is dear to me, performing in front of the school with my friends, singing in choir, acting, and doing colorguard with the band! I also really enjoyed all of the school dances they would hold. My time at Davis will always be special to me, and I am grateful for the connections I made there with my friends and teachers.

Honestly Davis is the better high school to attend between the two available to Yakima. However there are many things that would be changed but it's more in the district level.

Because of my high school and its staff I was able to apply to college and be prepared. They're program such as running start is really helpful, mostly to students who care about their education. I also met people during my years there which was really helpful.
