All about family names and when I went there, there were teachers how either acted worse than the kids or had such a level of ignorance it was unbearable. The band program when I went was very top notch and went on a lot of amazing trips because of the teaching talent of the music teachers. The wrestling program they have here has very talented coaches. Girls soccer and basketball were also talented last time I was there. Boys soccer was also good. As far as opportunities to get college credit goes I would rate it poorly. You still can get it but it's getting harder and harder there to do so. The English teachers have been known to claim that you will more at the school than any of the local colleges. The last thing is the chemistry teacher who teaches Chem 1 does not have a degree in chemistry. Last time I check he still works there. He is tenured from what I understand. The maintenance staff are very good at what they do and are very friendly. One last thing the IEP program there is really good. The teachers involved with that are one of the other very few things that they having going for them. If I were to recommend a school to go to I would say WPAK, Shawnee, Lima Senior, Perry, and Bluffton High are the ones to choose for your children they give the best atmosphere and education. Graduation Date: 2013.
