Buchanan is a great High School. It is full of amazing opportunities and allows you to personalize your classes to what you are interested in. Buchanan. is home to its very own Energy Academy which teaches a variety of subjects from Computer Science, Engineering, and Robotics, to classes of Environmental Impacts and Sustainability. Along with amazing academics, Buchanan offers hundreds of extracurriculars including hundreds of clubs, and a sport for everyone. Speaking of sports, Buchanan houses many amazing teams that are State and Nationally Ranked including our Football, Boys and Wrestling, Girls Cross Country, and Track and Field. These teams and extracurriculars wouldn't be possible without the amazing staff we have here at Buchanan. The teachers truly care and have a close knit relationship with every one of the students. Buchanan offers many student support groups such as CSI, Peer Counseling, and more. I couldn't be more thankful to have ended up at this amazing school.
I was in the theatre department at Buchanan and we were practically family. Even a year after graduation I’m still in touch with my friends and teachers there. If it weren’t for COVID-19, I would be visiting them often. I try to go to any plays they’re putting on because I love seeing the new students thrive in such an amazing competitive environment. Buchanan is known for sports, and I did go to a handful of football games and track meets to see our nationally recognized teams play. Academically, we have some great teachers that care about their students. If I was struggling, I know I could go to my teachers no matter what. Classes were fun and effective. I don’t think I would have understood trigonometry if it wasn’t for Mrs. Myers. If there’s a school that has more pride than Buchanan, I’d be amazed. GO BEARS!
This school is a great school that takes pride in its students and all that they do! They are really supportive and the teachers are almost always helpful when you have questions. I have gone here all four years, and I love it at Buchanan!
