Exceptional faculty that care about student success. They strive to promote a safe learning environment and encourage students to work hard. A very diverse and inclusive school that offers students the ability to grow and learn. This school provides a wide variety of clubs, organizations for students to be involved in such as Keyettes, an all girl volunteer club, and the National Honor Society. Both of these prepared me for future leadership roles in college and my career. Overall, I am thankful to have attended Tucker High School. Go Tigers!
JRT is a great school. Known for its diversity, this school allows students to become friends with people of all backgrounds. Tucker also has three specialty centers which allows a select amount of students to experience education in a different way. Every teacher that I’ve had these past four years is amazing, and all the faculty and staff at Tucker are friendly. It’s very easy to get involved with extracurriculars because there are so many, and it’s easy to make friends!
I am enthralled and very grateful for being a part of the J.R. Tucker community because of the incredible diversity which naturally brings about a difference in perspectives and beliefs that make for fruitful discussions in and out of the classroom. Additionally, through a variety of clubs and organizations from leadership and debate teams to computer science organizations, the school fully captures a breadth of experience and promotes community involvement. There are so many like-minded individuals to meet at these different clubs and there are also real-world initiatives that these clubs engage in, whether competitions or community service activities. This has served as a constructive hallmark of my high school career. Finally, I think my overall experience at J.R. Tucer couldn't have been made better without support from faculty who are amiable and willing to aid students. Teachers have devoted their time to student's understanding and excellence in extracurricular activities.
