Boca Raton Community High School is absolutely the greatest school North of the South Pole! Being involved in Student Government, Varsity sports, and multiple clubs on campus, I have learned that this school is run with immense passion and endless support. Boca High makes it a priority that each student plays a part in the school community and is not left alone. Administration ensures confidence in their students body, along with their faculty. I am honored to call Boca High home.

Aside from the highly overcrowded hallways and the teachers who should be doing anything other than teaching, the academic standards are excelled and the plethora of electives are so diverse. The general student body has so much to offer — each culture that’s brought from almost all over the world creates a melting pot of exposure. Everyone’s niche is different... from music making to chess playing, leadership to tree club. It’s a shame that the rules and regulations have to be so restrictive to the individual, and that more than most of the teachers and administration don’t seem to support the students’ ideas to better the school.
Boca High is a very well-rounded school. There is a lot of emphasis on academics, sports, and clubs. Students are encouraged to take several AP and AICE classes each year. There are clubs for each and every interest. The College and Career Center at Boca High has an amazing staff that helps seniors with every step of the application process. I have had a few experiences with bad teachers at Boca High, but I have also had some amazing experiences with teachers who are truly helpful and enjoy helping students. There is a lot of school pride surrounding the students, i.e. football games, pep rallies, organized activities. Overall, Boca High is great for anyone who is ready for a challenge.
