Terra Nova High School Reviews
Rating 3.34 out of 5 279 reviews
There were many sports that were offered, perhaps the most out of any school nearby, and that was a huge plus. The amount of pride is astounding, and the theater is gorgeous. Good staff, ease of learning information, and in a pretty nice location being all nestled in the mountains. Good amount of APs offered. It does get a star removed because of its lack of renovation inside the halls and classrooms, and even the gym, which could do with some repainting. There also isn’t much emphasis on clubs, I wish they were more talked about and encouraged.
I went to Terra Nova High School through 2016-2020. My time as a student at Terra Nova was met with vast opportunities and relationships with peers/teachers. I participated in sports all four years and was able to make some of my closest bonds with teammates. The teachers, coaches, and overall staff at Terra Nova were very nice and welcoming.
Your high school experience depends on what professors you take and the people you meet. Some professors don't genuinely care for you, but there are a few that genuinely want to see you succeed. So many clubs you can join, like literally an endless amount of clubs! Nice campus!
