• 35 reviews

Senior: Going to Syracuse high school has been great experience. The best part about going to Syracuse high is that is a smaller school so you will get to experience so much more that a larger school. The teachers are willing to do whatever it takes to make sure you are getting the most of you school year and education. With Syracuse being a smaller school we focus on sports a lot. Sports is a big thing in Syracuse there is only a few students that don't do sports and when their not doing sports they cheer on they're fellow class mates and participate in groups. The groups at Syracuse are very influential they have a S.T.O.P. group which is a group that is a drug prevention group. We also have a group called SOS ( Students Of Service) which is a group that does community service and that also take on trip far away a year. They also have FFA, Skills USA, Student Council,National Honors Society, Platform 11 ( professional choir group)

Palmyra Junior/Senior High School

• Palmyra School District, NE
• 7-12
• 42 reviews

Senior: I came to the Palmyra-Bennet school district upon entering sixth grade. I had no idea of the impact these schools would leave on me. I had only one year in the elementary school, but I could tell they were definitely going somewhere. I enjoyed the upbeat atmosphere and empathetic teachers. I switched to the high school and quickly adapted to the new lifestyle. The teachers were again empathetic and helpful, and the atmosphere was relaxed and motivated. I involved myself in many activities and had the chance to grow closer with my friends and the faculty. I would recommend Palmyra to anybody because of the expectations and the many hardworking and dedicated people.

Nebraska City High School

• 47 reviews

Senior: Nebraska City High School is a nice school and in a nice location. We have a great soccer, football & track field. Also 2 gyms we can now host multiple events. The office staff and principal are great! Several teachers that are easy to work with. Recently added a location downtown to learn trades. Great experience going into the real world. Parent involvement or school spirit could be more but overall not horrible. I would like to see the school put in more on improving a site for the softball fields as they have the track/football field and baseball.
