I honestly loved my high school! I graduated last year in May of 2019. High School was a fun time for because I got to socialize and get prepared for college. One reason why I loved Desert Hills was because of the amazing counselors. Anytime that I had a question about school or scholarships or just life in general, they were always willing to help me out. I got to know the principal and the vice principal very well and let me tell you, they are amazing! The principal my year switched at the end of the year though but my vice principal is now the principal and he is amazing! He has such a kind heart and is always has your best interest at heart. He might seem intimidating but he is the sweetest guy ever!
Overall, I think Desert Hills High School is a great school and one of the best in southern Utah. It offers lots of great classes with teachers highly trained to best help and teach students their subjects. This high school also has lots of great opportunities for students to participate and be involved such as the many clubs, sports, and school plays. As I was once a student at this high school, I feel I could not have received a better education elsewhere. This school is also extremely excepting of all students regardless of their background or family’s social standing. When faced with any problems, I personally was able to receive immediate help from staff. I was also able to receive help from counselors both with scheduling classes and having help overcoming tough situations. The school also has great food with different options to chose from each day.
I love so much about Desert Hills High School! The faculty are experts in their fields, are generally young and fun-loving people, and are committed to do anything in their power to help students succeed. I also really like the courses available. They are plentiful and unique, and there's surely something for everyone. The school is very clean and maintained, and has a very open and welcoming layout which is great for both students, parents, and visitors. All in all, I love attending Desert Hills High School and would highly recommend it to all.
