Health Careers High School

• Northside Independent School District (San Antonio), TX
• 9-12
• 501

Freshman: I've loved Health Careers since the first day. I'm a very shy and timid person, but everyone at Health Careers was so warm and welcoming. The teachers are challenging but they are also welcoming. They are here to help you succeed. They are also really understanding and supportive. We don't have many sports, but we have lots of fun clubs and activities! The dances and pep rallies are so much fun here! Everyone one is laughing and having a good time! As a freshman, I've learned and gained so much from this school than I ever have anywhere else. I truly love Health Careers and it has changed me from a self-hating introvert into a strong and confident extrovert!

International School of the Americas

• North East Independent School District, TX
• 9-12
• 258

Senior: My experience at the International School of the Americas has been great so far. The teachers have great communication with students and are always there to help us. What I really like about ISA is the how every year we travel to different state based on what we're learning that year. Freshmen year we travel to Arkansas and learn how other countries deal with poverty. Sophomore year we travel to New Mexico and learn about assimilation and acculturation within tribes from all over the year. Junior year we travel to Alabama and learn more about the Civil Rights Movement, which is by far my favorite trip ever. And Senior year we fly to Washington D.C. and learn more about politics and get to see the important landmarks like Lincoln Memorial. ISA is a great school, and I'm very thankful to be graduating from this school.

Alamo Heights High School

• Alamo Heights Independent School District, TX
• 9-12
• 300

Senior: I first came to Alamo Heights during my 8th grade. I was initially scared because I had never gone to a public school, but upon arriving, I found the people to be very friendly and the academics very rigorous. This all was enhanced when I went to Alamo Heights High School. For those who are considering or not considering Alamo Heights, I say that you should take a closer look because it's definitely the best high school in San Antonio (granted, I'm biased)! The school is small enough so that you can have real relationships with teachers who are passionate about what they teach. The academics are only hard if you sign up for the right courses, but it's definitely worth it in the end. And overall, the culture on campus is relaxed and positive. The parents at Alamo Heights are also a very involved group of parents, always getting what students need even when administration does not quite recognize any problems.

Johnson High School

• North East Independent School District, TX
• 9-12
• 647

Senior: I have been attending Johnson all four years of high school and I am about to graduate soon this year! My time at Johnson has been amazing and I have learned so much there. Not only have I made amazing friends but I feel that the teachers have truly prepared me for college. Although I love the academics and the resources, Johnson does not have the best diversity or school culture. I am personally mixed race and there have been many times that I have felt outcasted. Despite this I have still found amazing people. I am a little sad to leave Johnson but I am more excited for what the future has in store for me next.

Sophomore: Champion High School is the epitome of the high school experience all students should have. All staff members are competent and hardworking to create a healthy environment for its students. The school offers classes specifically designed to prepare students for the career they choose to persue. The advanced courses that are offered are taught by the most qualified and hardworking teachers I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Though, it isn’t a very diverse school, everyone is very kind towards one another and include other students. With a variety of clubs and organizations, every student can find a home for themselves surrounded by kind and helpful peers.

Boerne High School

• Boerne Independent School District, TX
• 9-12
• 163

Senior: All in all Boerne High school is an excellent place to receive and education. I attended all four years of high school in the Boerne independent school district and I can proudly say the school provided me with a wonderful education. After going to multiple schools I have discovered that the teachers at Boerne High School genuinely care for their students and are providing the best education they possibly can.

All I can say I is that the social environment is not as progressive as some of the surrounding schools in other districts. However, the district is growing and it is likely that the more conservative nature of the schools will fade in time.
