I attended Dutchtown since the ninth grade, and I've always felt safe there. They have provided me with the resources I needed to improve myself, including speech classes. The teachers are helpful and invested in students' learning. There is a large library and computer center, and a student services for students to talk to counselors. They have a very large cafeteria, with the three consistent meals offered being pizza, chicken sandwiches, and hamburgers. There are a variety of clubs and sports teams, from gaming club to Spanish club and track to football. There is something for everyone here.
