    Senior: I love Jackson County Early College! The teachers are absolutely amazing! They are genuinely invested in the students success. The staff do everything they can to improve student interest in, involvement with, and understanding of their own education. The community at JCEC is equally as wonderful, the students are friendly, and each year group is close-knit and active with the school.

  3. Smoky Mountain High School

    • Jackson County Public Schools, NC
    • 9-12
    • 67

    Senior: I love Smoky Mountain High School! I have attended here for all four years of my high school career and have been involved in many organizations, including assisting in starting a new program called "Mustang Ambassadors". Our chorus classes are stellar, competing in New York City and Walt Disney World. Our band has won numerous awards, as well as individual awards. Our receptionist welcomes everyone with a smile and the teachers are the true heart of the school. There are no "cliques" like the typical high school is; no one 'outranks' the other, everyone is equal.

    Noble and Greenough School

    • Private School
    • Dedham, MA
    • 7-12
    • 31

    Alum: Nobles is a special place rich with tradition, oozing with school pride, and steadfast in strong community principles. I feel so fortunate to have spent my high school life in such a place where I was accepted, encouraged and challenged all in perfect harmony. The teachers are happy to be there too--they are also encouraged to challenge themselves and develop as educators and that is clear in the way they immerse themselves in their curriculum and their afternoon program duties. I love nobles more than words can share--could not recommend it more!
