Classical is a one of a kind school.
When I tell people I attend Classical, I receive both praise and envy, which really shows its excellent reputation. One teacher told my class that you "do high school only once." Early on I took advantage of the opportunities the school has to offer, to make friends, take challenging courses, connect with faculty, join clubs, run for class president... do everything that would maximize my full potential in the quickest four years of my life. Classical is where I explored and found myself. As a result I gained experience and now feel prepared to go to college and the real world.
There are very few students who take the school for granted, but they don't realize that other schools aren't on par with ours. Alumni tell their biggest regret is not taking advantage of their time at Classical. Even though I did so much at the school, I definitely agree that I could've done more! I thank Classical for the best years of my life so far! GO PURPLE!

My experience at Classical Highschool is nothing short of amazing: I was always challenged, encouraged, and welcomed. I faced various challenges like making friends ---since I was an introvert---and difficult classes. When I tried to be more social, I was warmly welcomed. When I achieved great academic results, I was praised and encouraged. Overall, I am glad that I applied to Classical.
My overall experience at Classical High school was pretty great, even with its ups and downs I still enjoyed my time there. Some highlights were being able to balance sports (volleyball and basketball) and academics. Even when I may have felt like I was drowning in work, practices, games, homework, etc. I knew there was always a person either a teacher or administration I could receive help from. Being in Classical’s graduating class of 2019 has become a bitter sweet moments because I will always miss my old run down school no matter how many imperfections you may see at a glance. Once you attend Classical, you truly get the sense of love and care everyone has for that place. Even on my worst day, my high school brought be joy everytime I walked through those purple doors. Classical will always be my home and I will forever bleed purple!
