    I graduated from H.C. Williams last year and have felt very prepared for college as a freshman. I had some amazing teachers that really shaped my interests and allowed me to grow into my passion for learning. The teachers and staff here WANT to help you. H.C. Williams is a small, rural school, but a very welcoming place that tries to stay as updated as possible. The faculty here works hard to accommodate to students’ interests and requests. This is a high school I would (some day) want my own kids to attend.

    The teachers are incredibly helpful and provide a safe environment for all. There are many clubs, classes, and sports teams for people of all interests. Safety is a top priority. The only problem is a little more affirmative action on complaints of bullying would be appreciated by many.
    Idk, its okay. We have some AP's, the food is terrible, teachers are good for the most part, Hall way decorating is the best. For safety we are pretty good.
