Houston high-school is a great school! The teachers are wonderful and seem to really care about the students. The academics are pretty good and there are many opportunities for academic greatness including school provided tutoring, contests in all subjects, and many more. Most sports are really good here. I play volleyball and the varsity has won 2nd in state many times. The only thing that I would change is how the school is dealing with Covid-19; although, It is more the states fault than individual schools. Houston high-school is struggling to update families about new measures needed to be taken. We are only going to school 2 days a week but most sports are still practicing everyday of the week, which doesn't really make since. Overall, Houston is a great school but needs to work on Covid-19 measures
I moved to the area sophomore year, and was welcomed by both students and teachers. I quickly found a good group of friends, and had a blast the last 3 years. A couple of memorable things did happen, like the water being cut off and the building of the gates around the school, but there were plenty of service opportunities and activities to do at school. I was involved in both soccer and track at the school, and the coaches genuinely want to be there to improve the players. They also have good connections to college coaches if you wish to play in college. This year, 75% of the seniors on the soccer team committed to D1 soccer. My one problem is with administration. A lot of the roadblocks that I encountered had to do with administration's rules. Approval for lab software, equipment, academic field trips, and certain policy changes took an extremely long time to change. Overall, it is a really good school for sports and academics, less so for the arts :(.
The high school I currently attend has done a good job of coping with overcapacity while still maintaining the same attention to detail. This is only done due to the fabulous staff and many of my teachers I have or have had never fail to put in the work so that I and my classmates can succeed in school but in life as well. I am very thankful that academics are taken so seriously, especially this being a public school. Without the opportunity I have been given, I would not have done so well. The social aspect of school is prevalent to those who enjoy that part of high school. Houston provides the means and when students rise of the occasion, they excel.
