I am a graduating student (2007) of Tuckerman High School. All I can say is that all my life I have always strived to do my best and seek out opportunities in life. Unfortunatly this school does nothing to help anyone. It doesn't prepare you for life or college. Maybe if you go to any easy college where most of the classes are the equivalent of those taught in high school. When I came to college, 300 miles away, I was not prepared for college due to the lack fo study skills Tuckerman High School failed to teach us. The people who find that this is a great school must not really have high expectations for a high quality education with also skills for life. Most people would say that it is up to the parents to instill these skills and lessons, but then what are we paying the teachers for?

I think this school is the greatest school in the nation. It has great teachers, great academic program, great sports, great coaches( Coach Gilbert, Coach Roberts, and coach Skaggs). This school has done alot for me and i wouldlike to think everyone in this school. The princpals are awsome, they are Mrs. Tanner, and Mr. Smith. And the super intendent is awsome, that would be Mr. Shannon. I have much more but time is short.
