As a graduating student from Hamilton High School, Hamilton will make sure you can get the right education you need. At Hamilton, they have a wide span of academic programs that includes: specialized career paths in PLTW engineering, PLTW biomedical science, business and finance, AP, honors courses, and Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC- Army). I was in many of the PLTW, honors, and AP classes. The classes I took helped me find what career I wanted to do in life. Attending them was one of the greatest decisions I have done at Hamilton. Other than academic programs, Hamilton's offers many extracurricular programs that welcomes students with open arms. All in all, Hamilton brings out the excitement of learning in every student. They have proven that their school is one of the best places you can't miss out on.
I was a freshman and a sophomore at this school. Ngl, it's a good school. My grades weren't so good because I missed a lot of tests. The teachers are great, the staffs are awesome, and my counselor was awesome. Last week Friday was my last day there. I'm literally in the classroom at my new school (Mesquite High school) talking abt how great Hamilton is. All my teachers told me that they're still trying to figure out what they're going to give me because I'm way ahead of all my classes. So let me just thank Hamilton for turning me into smart and a hardworking person.
At Hamilton High School the curriculum taught could at times become very repetitive although many of the teachers showed devotion and passion in their work. The environment is very friendly, staff was respectable and showed gratitude. They expect everyone to be their best and put 100% effort in shool work. They present many opportunities and resources which are able to help you succeed.
