Huron High School felt like home for most of the time. Huron is very welcoming and very diverse. I enjoyed almost all of my classes, all the football and basketball games. I also got to create a club with my favorite teacher that helped me meet new people and it was a source for exchange students to make friends. The hallway monitors were my favorite because they always asked how our days were going and were always willing to help. I enjoyed the environment. There were a few things that I did not like the schedule changes. They added a seventh hour and split lunch time. I also did not like couple of the teachers that I had, they were very careless about all students. Apart from that I had some amazing teachers that I'll remember and respect forever.
My children have been continually challenged to think and apply---the academics are top-notch with many AP and AC (accelerated, AP-track) offerings. Math and science are especially strong, and the humanities course is basically a demanding college course that integrates literature, music, art, and history. My oldest child graduated with tons of AP credit, went to a top university, and had no problems adjusting to the work since high school expectations were so high. The international (particularly Asian) population drives up the standards; many of the kids are taking A.P. Calculus BC, for example, as sophomores. There are usually many National Merit scholars and perfect ACT scores (which can make "normal" high achieving students feel like failures, and does make it very difficult to get an A in accelerated courses) . The music program is phenomenal! The orchestra and band win state and national competitions and often sound better than college level groups--some of the kids are accepted at top notch music schools.
The only downside is that the "regular" classes are filled with students who are not so driven, so the achievement gap earns Huron poorer ratings than it deserves. And the football team never wins---so other sports like basketball, soccer, field hockey, tennis and swimming get more respect.

One of the things that I really appreciated from Huron High School is the academic challenge that it had given me. This had not only prepared me for a high-pressure college education but as well as an opportunity to appreciate hard work. Huron High School offered advanced classes that challenge the student's intellect as well as their ability to handle academic pressure. During my time at Huron, I had the pleasure to see many of my fellow students get into their dream colleges through hard work and the support the faculty members.
