Dreher High School has provided me with an endless supply of opportunities and resources throughout the last 3 years that will forever hold a positive place in my heart. Not only does Dreher employ faculty and staff members that are passionate about their jobs, on numerous occasions, the teachers at Dreher have gone out of their way to provide academic, artistic, and athletic opportunities to my fellow students and I. Every student is given the opportunity to make a connection with a teacher that can go beyond the subject at hand and turn into a much needed mentor-ship during the unpredictable time of our adolescent years. The resources that have been given to the student body of Dreher High School will provide opportunities and lessons that will last a lifetime!
Dreher was a great school that offered many great courses, extracurricular activities, and arts programs. Dreher could improve on having more social events and opportunities such as school dances and more "field days." Dreher also provided students the opportunity to take AP classes. The athletics department needs a bit more work. Students need to be trained better and more prepared for competitions and games against other schools. Administration does a great job with meeting with students and preparing them for an on time graduation experience. Dreher has consistently been named one of the best schools, high schools, in the City of Columbia. Dreher also has a requirement that every student takes the first two levels of either Spanish, French, German, or Chinese. This is great for students because it prepares them for college and the real world, and provides them with an opportunity to become bilingual. Overall, Dreher provides a lot of opportunities for students to be successful.
I can describe Dreher in so many words but, the word I would use is extraordinary. Dreher is the best school for academics and athletics. They provide so many great opportunities academics wise. However, the athletics portion offers weightlifting classes throughout the day and evenings. For athletes wanting to get better in the sport they play. Dreher also has a wonderful JROTC program that is grow each day. They offer marching classes on 4 block on a-days you have a opportunity to join jv and or varsity drill teams.
