HHS provides a very generic education. I hear about other schools in the area that have classes tailored specifically to certain areas of study (civil engineering, history, etc.), but this school only offered (and mandated) the basics.
On a more positive note however, the teachers really cared about our grasp of the topics at hand, and there was very little bullying among the student body. The school itself had thriving arts, music, and sports programs, and an altogether positive community.
All in all, I think HHS did an excellent job of giving me a general education and gave me positive encouragement to do so.

I enjoy my experience here at Honesdale high school. There is many things to do and many many electives open for offer. A couple things I would improve is the math department because there are no good teachers for algebra 1 or geometry. Another thing I would improve is the food quality (thanks Michelle Obama). There is nothing that is good on the menu besides the pizza sticks. I would definitely recommend this school. Honesdale and as well as the whole Wayne highlands school district has a very good reputation and phenomenal standardized test scores.
Honesdale High School was a great place to attend school. The teachers were great and really cared about their students' educations and understanding of the material they were being taught. They even cared on a personal level, always making sure their students' lives outside of school were well and good. The courses themselves were challenging and made me think critically. I had to study hard and work to achieve my good grades. The coaches of my sports teams, however, were not the greatest. When I approached administrators of my school and my school district, they did nothing to help me and the other athletes on my teams. My coaches were not always dedicated to my teams and to my teammates. Overall, my experience with Honesdale High School was very positive though, and I wouldn't have wanted to attend high school anywhere else.
