I loved Alcoa High School! Alcoa is a very welcoming community and the school is just the same. There are children from all different types of backgrounds who share all different types of ethnicities; however, they all come together. They also provide a high academic as well as athletic atmosphere.

Alcoa has always been a "football school" but alongside that comes a school with a lot of heart. With every on-field win that's a win for the attitude of the school. The hallways are electric throughout big game weeks, but serious and focused on game days. The academics also benefit from the sports-minded emphasis because all athletes have to be passing their classes to stay eligible to play. Alcoa is a place where everyone can find somewhere to have their something that makes them feel alive.
At Alcoa High School, there are only 600 students. With such a small population it’s awesome to get to know everyone. Also, Alcoa is extremely diverse. I get to mix in with different races and cultures and everyone is accepting of everyone else. The teachers are amazing and are more than willing to go out of there way to help me with whatever I need to become successful. However with it being such a small school, there aren’t many clubs and activities.
