Absolutely a wonderful school. The teachers are incredible (shout out to Mrs. Dirks, the Conrads, and Dr. Houston!), and they really do a wonderful job of loving their students and encouraging them in the Lord. Having gone to the school for 12 years, I can safely say that the academic and artistic side of the school is growing just as much as (or more than) their sports. I am sad to graduate tomorrow because I don't want to leave such a wonderful place. I encourage you to come tour, say hello to our amazing art teacher Mrs. Youngblood, and ask about all of the student-led clubs. I was able to form the Coffee & Politics club this year to discuss relevant issues of politics in the context of Christianity. This school is full of potential and as challenging academically as you are willing to make it!
The administration and teachers genuinely care about the students and take a personal interest in helping them succeed. Full of great leaders, role models, and friends. Students take pride in their school and are very spirited. Only downside is the subsequent drama that comes with such a tightknit community .
The work load is incredibly high to the point of making students miserable at times. Many of the students suffer from depression and anxiety as well as suicidal thoughts due to the pressure of the school. Many of the teachers are incredible and there to help but many will treat you as stupid if you ask questions. The heavy religious tones in every class make even the most zealous believer begin to bore or even despise hearing about the Bible. It will prepare you for college as well as the work force, but it is not a stable learning environment.
