Throughout my entire experience at David H. Hickman High School, what I enjoyed most were the teachers. Not only were they extremely supportive and respectful, but they also cared about students moving forward with there education. They were always on top of making sure students are understanding what they're learning. That is something I will forever be grateful for as my future evolves. Although, something I hope to see change at Hickman is resources and administration. I wish they were more involved with helping the students prepare for colleges, such as FAFSA, applications or even just one on one talk about college lifestyle itself. Hopefully, the future generation will have more knowledge. Nonetheless, Hickman High school was a great experience and I enjoyed my four years there!
I love a lot of things about this school. While there are certainly some bad apples, the overall population is generally nice, and I have had very few issues with my peers. on top of this, the classes offered here are wonderful. there is an incredibly diverse range of courses, covering things from mathematics, to agriculture, to welding and more. As well, the faculty and teachers are incredible. Every teacher that I have had has been wonderful. each one is passionate about what they teach, and every one of them has a unique teaching style. Every class in different, they are all engaging and enjoyable in their own ways. Overall, though there is certainly some flaw in this school, my experience has been phenomenal.
I have been going to Hickman for the past 4 years a love it here! I could not imagine going to a better high school in my area. The atmosphere is wonderful and very positive. The teachers are great and I can easily talk to them whenever I need. The students can be challenging to work with at times but that seems to be the case for most high schools. I am an honors student and enjoy the classes available. They fit my needs along with the needs of students who do not need the challenge like I do. Overall, Hickman is a really great school and I am proud to be a kewpie.
