    Nicolet High School is an extremely inclusive community. I love how many opportunities all students are given to be involved in both the school's community and the outside community.

    Nicolet is an amazing high school. All the teachers are extremely helpful and will tell you exactly what they want from each student. There are no surprises in what you are expected of. Recently, Nicolet created a no phone policy which has kept me focused on all my academics. There is a wide selection of electives and AP classes for everyone!
    Nicolet High School truly illustrates a great, supportive, working, community. When it comes to extra curricular activities Nicolet has many outstanding programs that any student can be involved in; such as theater, art, dance, and more. Not only this, but when it comes to sports, Nicolet’s community holds a strong supportive system. My senior year of high school, many students rode to support our boys basketball team in Madison, WI for the state championship game. The seats were packed with the colors of blue and white and signs that where made for the team members. I truly believe that Nicolet represents a great High School because, they have also prepared me for college. I can say they’ve prepared me because, as a freshman in college I feel as though I am ready to take on all the challenges that I my face academically.
