Senior: I have been enrolled in PECHS for 4 years, and I must say that it is one of the most enjoyable schools that I have attended so far. While it may be very humble, possessing a small but tight-knit student body and not supporting sports activities, these properties actually suit me very well and have allowed me to make friends with some wonderful like-minded people. The teachers are extremely friendly and helpful, and the school is constantly putting on extracurricular activities and such to have fun with, as well as to make the local community a better place with charities and such. Students also have a good deal of freedom without being stifled by overbearing rules. All in all, I love this school and think that it is great.... Read 52 reviews

Middle School Student: TMS was an above-average experience for me compared to other students. At the school, I was able to take advantage of AIG programs such as Algebra 1 in the 7th grade, which ignited my love for mathematics, and I continued to take Geometry/Math II the following year in 8th grade. Not only were the academics strong, but the school's focus on college readiness and preparation was a key in helping me decide what I want to pursue in my future, which is software engineering. Although my school experience was above average, I had a few acquaintances who struggled a little more than I did, and although they were able to pass their classes and move on from the school to high school, it seemed the school did not provide all the necessary resources they needed to succeed at all times. There were nearly 1000 students at the school at the time, so I cannot shift all the blame on the school, as the students had to complete their part as well. Overall, my experience with TMS was positive.... Read 2 reviews

Senior: Topsail High School has given me an excellent education as well as the support and guidance I needed for success. I was blessed with some amazing teachers whom now I look to as life and academic mentors. Getting involved was not hard to say the least, and as Student Body President, I am honored to say that Topsail is none other than home. Being a part of the honorable Yearbook Staff, State Semi-Finalist Varsity Lacrosse Team, and our incredible Theatre program have been a few of the programs I have immersed myself in. All of which have made me grow as a person, student, player, and leader. Likewise, I see many students getting involved in similar activities and thriving because of it. Go Pirates!...

Alum: Holly Shelter Middle School was a very good middle school. The AIG program was very selective and pulled kids around a lot. Other than that, the academics were pretty good, and most of the teachers were kind and good at their job. The electives and clubs were very good about involvement and having fun activities to do....

Junior: My experience transferring to Heide Trask Highschool was extremely welcoming. The counselors are always there to help you whenever you need. I am a junior and already way ahead of the game in my life after high school. They helped me enter the dual enrollment plan for the community college in the area I live in. I am now knocking out college classes as a high school junior. The only thing I would change about my experience is how they talk to you about scholarships. They didn’t really go into a lot of depth when discussing how I would get student aid. Overall though, the experience has been great so far and I am excited to spend my final year of high school at Trask.... Read 108 reviews

Middle School Student: I love our sports programs. I was able to play multiple sports and had good coaches that really cared about our teams. I feel like St. Mark is preparing me well for high school. If I could change anything it would be to add a sports field and some of the uniform guidelines.... Read 1 review

High School Senior: There are a lot of good things about this school, and it has a lot of potential that it's not reaching. I always wanted to participate in the Battle of the Books, but there wasn't a teacher to run that program. And a drama club would have been good. But unlike a lot of small schools, it did offer athletic teams, band and art programs, and Spanish language. My very favorite experience at St. Mary was participation on the Science Olympiad team for 3 years. I have now gone on to do Science Olympiad for 7 years, and am the president of my high school team for all four years. It is what made me decide that I want to go into the STEM professions. This experience at St. Mary gave my academic life direction.... Read 1 review
