Junior: Woodland… where do I even begin to talk about Woodland. I’m going into my junior year and I don’t think I would prefer to do it somewhere else. Woodland truly has set me up for success! Not only has Woodland had open arms for me and every other student who has attended but woodland has made it their job to put us first! From a nice smile in the hallway to getting us ready to graduate. One thing that I love about woodland is how soon it prepares you for the rest of your life. Woodland makes it their priority to always keep us ready for what’s coming next, whether that be the next grade or the start of our life. My mom always asks me when I come home “So how’s Woodland treating you” ? My response has NEVER changed… I always smile and say “It’s my home”. I’ve never been more proud to be a Woodland wildcat, the administration truly care about what happens to us and that inspires me and every other student to be on our very best behavior....

Alum: I loved being a part of Adairsville High School! I appreciate that Adairsville High School has a strong emphasis for excellence in academics! Our school persevered through the recent pandemic and took on any challenges they faced while still giving its students the best. However, despite some of their best efforts, I would like to see more support for different extracurriculars such as the fine arts. The fine arts at Adairsville High School are severely under appreciated and under represented by the Administration in both the school and the county. On the contrary, Adairsville High has given their major sports like baseball, basketball, and football great representation! The teacher faculty at Adairsville is nothing short of amazing! I have had a great relationship with each and everyone one of my teachers and have found some of them to be my lifelong role models, mentors, and friends. My entire high school experience, especially senior year of 2022, has been both rewarding and fun!... Read 179 reviews

Junior: I originally come from a school in New York, where the school needed ID's to go in, you had to walk through metal detectors, and your backpack was checked for drugs or any arms. Constant new on threats and fights at least twice a week. Where I come from, high school was definitely survival of the fittest. When I was told I would start a new school I was scared, I mean all my friends were in a completely different state, but this school was so welcoming. I actually felt safe. The environment feels so nice and the teachers are so supportive and great at interacting with the students. The school system was so stress free and supported students in any area. I have seen so much about economic help and opportunities to advance academically. I have seen and experienced so much that I probably wouldn't have experienced in my old district. I thank God because going to Cass was one of the biggest blessings I've ever had. At this point, I have no complaints.... Read 199 reviews
