It is a great school with lots of diversity! It has great staff and great students. Sometimes, though, students lack the attention they need. There have been protests to satisfy the needs of students.
Many teachers care about the students and want them to succeed, also very friendly environment. Since Denison is becoming more larger the school classes are becoming full meaning students have less choices on what classes to take.
The principal really cares about the students. He communicates well with us. He is super cool, and he's a great person overall. I like the lectures he gives us about being respectful, polite, and how we can be the best we can be. The school is always kept clean. The kids here are polite. Heritage is the best class that I think I will ever take in my life. Mr. Houston and Mr. Bradley are really passionate about what they teach. It's always great to see that.
For the most part, the teachers are okay. There are some that just can't teach very well and that a lot of people have conflicts with.
