I moved from my home town to Natick just to go to this amazing, new, state of the art school! The teachers and counselors show interest in their students and offer a variety of engaging lessons that prepare students for college and a future career. The student environment is competitive which strives every student to do their very best. When their is a problem, students and faculty work together to find a solution. Everyone has a voice.
There is an extracurricular activity for everybody, and if there is one a student thinks is missing they are encouraged to start one.
Natick does have some faults. Natick has largely white majority so schools lack diversity. However, programs have been enacted to increase diversity and ensure that everyone feels safe and comfortable at Natick.

I really enjoyed the opportunity at Natick High to take certain classes and extracurriculars that helped my education towards studying Business at Bentley University. One thing about Natick High School that I would like to see change is the respect between the administration and the students. The students no longer trust the administration at my high school as the administration continues to make decisions that greatly affect the students without consulting us in their decisions. For example, this past year, it was required of students that wished to drive their car to school to pay a $50 parking fee. We were never informed of why they made this decision and how our money was going to solve the issue of not enough parking spots. Ultimately I had a good experience at Natick High, especially with making relationships and learning well from teachers, but the common distrust in the administration amongst the students made the school an inefficient learning environment.
Natick High School is a beautiful school with an amazing campus. There's so many different classes and electives to take that it was always so hard for me to narrow it down! A lot of my electives ended up being my favorite parts of the day, and all the teachers I've ever had have been so helpful with my work. It was a good four years here and I'll definitely miss everyone.
