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.

The school itself is relatively new. It was clean and kept at all times (shoutout to the janitors). The food in the cafeteria was much better than many other schools that I have gone to in previous years (again, shoutout to the lunch ladies). The teachers actually cared about their students and made sure that every student understood the content we were learning at the time. Overall I felt welcomed by the teachers and faculty and it was one of the best schools I have went to.
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.
