    School commodity was excellent with students and staff. Most parents volunteer on every event to bring the community together. I just wished they provided better support for sporting activities for football and basketball, lacrosse. The fees for each season athletics deparment needs a bit high. I would and will still attend sporting avents to cheer them on! I would volunteer in a heart beat with support and work with the athletic department in efforts in flexibility and allowing for students with school pride.
    Our school counselors, facility staff and administrative staff is highly recommended with excellent for guidence. The staff filled students with kindness and made the years fly by. I have lots of fond memories. I rated this school very high and recommend any student that attends our school system. It is a great high school and sharing these memories will be passed along.

    I really enjoyed my time at Greely High School and think it prepared me well for college. I participated in the IB program offered there and gained extremely valuable knowledge about the world. I think sometimes student's voices go unheard and that they tend to turn against each other when faced with adversity, but I also believe the school is working on trying to fix this problem as best they can. Personally, I think Greely High School was the best high school education I could have gotten and the teachers cared for each student and worked with them to help them be successful and I would recommend it over any private schools in the area.
    As the community has gotten more proessive there have been a large number of changes at Greely High School. It seems that for much of the staff inclusivity has become a higher priority than education. What has always been a very good high school in ME is starting to focus to much on student's feelings rather than furthering their education. Each year at Greely High School has gotten worse and worse. The Principle and VP left within a month of each other, and since then the attitude of the school has turned worse. The teachers still teach, but their outreach is limited because students have become so frustrated with the district in other areas. Don't get me wrong, Greely is still good at educating most students, but through my high school career, the amount of care up into teaching has lessened.
