Excellent! Everything you want in a school district - excellent academics, athletics, social, tradition and school spirit. Students move on to attend all the top colleges in America. The football team recently won 3 consecutive Texas state championships to add to many more from the past. HPHS is competitive in every boys and girls sport and arts with alumni like Matt Stafford (highest paid NFL player) and Clayton Kershaw (highest paid MLB player). And all located just a few minutes north of downtown Dallas, adjacent to SMU, and in one of the safest and most gorgeous neighborhoods in Texas. With all of these benefits the surrounding real estate is expensive but totally worth it. A public school in a private school wrapper.
I really enjoyed the hustle and hard work I had to learn and engage with at HPHS. The teachers are very hard, but are motivating and always there to help me. I found that they accommodating to students with different needs and always tried to put in a lot of effort with getting kids to learn. The math and science department here is top notch. My most favorite teacher was my junior year aquatics teacher, Mrs. BBG! The history department is very knowledgable and the teachers are very caring. The only thing I did not enjoy was the lack in the arts department. I am going into fashion business and I could not find one fashion art class that would prepare me or allow me to explore my interests. The school should provide either a fashion merchandising, fashion design, or costume science class to students who want to pursue fashion.
Overall, excellent teachers and administration! I absolutely feel prepared for college based on my experience with AP classes. As far as things to change, they are much too focused on sports and don't make any attempt to spread honors and awards outside a small group of students.
