Overall, at Carlsbad High I was given many opportunities to succeed. I’ve met amazing people and will miss them dearly. The spirit and the views around campus are amazing and surely can’t be overlooked. For me, the honors track teachers are amazing. From a musical standpoint, if you play an instrument, it would help to have a teacher or an outside ensemble from the school. I haven’t had the best high school experience due to some family circumstances, but CHS always felt like a great escape away from that and a place where I could feel normal. I’d just pick your friends wisely and be nice to everyone!
I love how spirited Carlsbad High School is. Every football game, dance, and event is well-thought out and incredibly fun! The diversity helps to create a welcoming environment where every student belongs. It is obvious how much the teachers love their students and job. They are always willing to answer any questions and help students understand the material. Carlsbad High School supports every art program, such as marching band, dance, and theatre. No other high school can compare to CHS.
Carlsbad High School was an environment that allowed me to grow up in a safe, friendly, fun, and academically challenging environment! I would not want to go to any other High School! Not only did Carlsbad High School teach me many academic lessons, but Carlsbad High School knew how to make High School and enjoyable and fun time that made lasting memories! I will forever remember and cherish every memory.
