Snowflake High School

SHS doesn't help student find scholarships. There is a guidance dept. but they just tell you to look online for scholarships! Not cool. They should be active in helping students seek higher education but that doesn't happen. It's a joke. If your plan is to stay in a small town and not further your education... then you found the right school. If you have other plans after High School.. then you would be wise to drive to Blue Ridge... they promote higher education.

Lack of diversity? The music program in the school is awesome. The Madrigals, the band, orchestra and thespians deserve a great big round of applause. The media department is up and coming and under very good direction. The auto shop, wood shop and arts departments are great for a school this size. Yeah, athletics events are nice, the Lobo football program is great fun, but only those who are in a constent state of napping can't see that there is so much more going on.

If you're into sports.. or I should say Football.. then great.. otherwise look into another school or homeschool. Principal seems not to care about anything BUT football. Teachers try.. but with no back up from Admin seem to give up. Sad really.. It could be very good school under different management.

I love SHS, it is the best school ever to grace our earthly habitat. If I had to choose between any shcool in the world I would choose SHS because it is the best. Everyone is friendly, and we all have the greatest of times. All the people who wrote bad reviews about this spectacular school can go to Holbrook.

Okay, this school is a little below average. The only people that would say this is an awesome school are the preppy rich kids that have lived here all thier lives and have had everything handed to them. Parent involvement is minimal, acedemic programs such as debate and acedec are being threatened to be terminated because of budget cuts. Football is our schools moneymaker and basically the lifeforce of the school. They want to re-live ever football movie at our school. I teach teachers, and i'm a student. The principal isn't the problem, hes nice and administration is friendly, i for one just don't like the schools stress on sports, when a majority of the kids at school aren't on the teams and the ones on the teams are constantly on grade check....please, someone get me outta this school!

The school isn't the greatest. Some students need extra help and the teachers won't provide it. Home schooling is a better option between the two.

If you have the ability, and capability, please consider home schooling. Athletics is given #1 priority--that will never change. . .Ever. There is no diversity among its students.

I think Snowflake has a poor outlook on education taking sports and extracurricular activities more important than academics.

Snowflake High School has some exceptional problems. One being the Principal doesn't back his teachers. He caves in to money and parents. He has no loyality to his teachers. The teachers do their very best with all the cut backs and pay for a lot of the extra from their own pockets.

Our school is awesome. They try to keep the kids involved, and not leave anyone out. Overall the classes are pretty good. The teachers arn't to pushy, except for Miss. Cunningham, her class is hard to keep up in. LOBOS ROCK!
