Howell Cheney Technical High School Reviews
Rating 3.33 out of 5 82 reviews
Over my four year experience at Cheney Tech, I believe that I have grown exponentially. Not only have I become a better learner at Cheney but the school has taught me a lot of value and had a lot to offer for my career choice. Advice for the incoming freshman would be to pick a trade that you can see yourself making a career out of it. While at Cheney, many people were unhappy with their selection of trade because they either lose interest or they have a change of heart in what they would like to do. This can cause a student to lose focus and slowly fall into a hole they now have to fight their way out of. One other advice I would have for incoming freshmen is to GET WBL. WBL is under appreciated and is an awesome opportunity to get a head start on your career and get on the job experience. This opportunity also is great because instead of going to your trade; if your shop instructor allows it, you can go to work instead of school and get paid which is a big plus!
My overall experience with Cheney was/is mostly positive. The instructors are generally experienced and knowledgeable in their respective curriculum, and while there are some bad apples, they are on the whole a great academic team. The atmosphere is rather welcoming, though many people can get unnecessarily upset at the rather stringent dress code and identification system. The trades are thoroughly enjoyable and are to some extent tailored to the interests of the student, with many options and much to do within each of the courses. I would highly recommend Cheney if you are looking for a more practical, less CORE based learning system.
Cheney gave me many opportunities to do it all, being a smaller school. I played two varsity sports, and lead many school organizations. However, more college prep would be helpful!
