Alum: The middle school gave me a very good education - it is an Abington Heights education, after all. At AHMS, I gained most of my writing skills, became interested in science, and developed a passion for music. However, the "team" set-up did not prepare me for high school. I feel as though there should be a different set-up for the seventh and eighth graders in order to better prepare them for high school.

Dallas Senior High School

Senior: Alright school, most of the teachers I have had have been pretty decient. The academics are tough but I feel very college ready with the classes I have taken. Not a lot of AP classes, but I think that is changing in the future. Administration can be a bit terrible sometimes when it comes to bullying, but I feel like all schools are like that. Sports are good, our football team doesn't achieve much but our track and swim team is one of the best in the state. I do with this school payed more attention to the arts, though. Many talented students do not get enough credit for what they achieve outside of the classroom, such as theatre, art, and band.

Alum: North Pocono High School is an amazing place to grow. I loved the welcoming, nurturing, and enthusiastic teachers, staff, and coaches at the school. NP is a great community with a lot of pride. In times of tragedy or celebration, the North Pocono district comes together. I learned so much at the school and am forever grateful to the dedicated teachers who guided me! Its AP program has bolstered over the years, and its new building is beautiful! Though the community is not as racially diverse, I don't think it should limit NP from being deemed an excellent place of learning.
