I am a graduate of Lee High School. My 2005 graduating class included some of the responsible people rather than many other schools. Our class may not have been of great size but our togetherness is what made our class seem so large. So, it does not matter where you graduate from, but as long as your environment and your own self-respect becomes you then you will and shall be and do great things. I am now attending UCA, where I am majoring in Psychology. Always remember 'LIFE IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT!'

Lee High School has a lot of great artists, athletes, and musicians. The academics are pretty good, it's a lot of smart students that are trying to do something for themselves. Rodney Slater(Bill Clinton's former Secretary of Transportation) graduated from Lee High School in Marianna, Arkansas. How great is that?!
