I went to smoky hill. I learned to smoke cigarettes and weed. The coolest security guards worked there because they would drink alchohol on the job. They let me drop out without even consulting my parents. Of course when your just a number and not on stuco, in IB, or a star athelete, why would they care. I'm a business owner and very successful at that now, no thanks to Smoky Hill. Go Buffs!
Smoky has some of the best teachers and security guards ever, every time i come to class, i want to learn because the teachers are so rad! And don't even get me started on the security guards! The security guards are the most interesting, trustworthy, AWESOME people you will meet, personally, they make Smoky Hill. but the deans are very strict and inconsistent on the dress code.Smoky, IF YOU CAN'T CATCH EVERYONE THAT IS VIOLATING THE DRESS CODE, DON'T CATCH THEM AT ALL PLEASE, its very unfair to those who do get caught.! how does the cleavage of my knees or shoulder effect the learning environment?? Other than that, Smoky is wonderful!
Outstanding school. Amazing school spirit and great traditions. IB and AP programs are exceptional. New renovation looks amazing.
We were unhappy with the level of instruction and the attitude of the staff when trying to work out problems. I pulled my daughter out of the school, and enrolled her in online schooling which may not be perfect but is much better than having her attend Smoky Hill
Im a student at Smoky I am currently a Sophomore 2012! and I have had some of the best years of my life here. The AVID program is excellent probably best west of the Mississippi and it is just all a fun environment, teachers know what they are doing and everyone has a sense of pride to be a buffalo.
Excellent school, amazing teachers, opportunities for all types of students. I can't wait for my youngest son to be a buffalo!
Awesome! Must join the AVID program for your student I would not be here if it wasnt for My AVID teacher. The school is something I will always remember the memories made there.....
Smoky hill has been everthing I ever expected for our childrens education, I have two student that graduated from smoky and one on the way to graduate. the one thing that seems to stand out the most about smoky is that it is a controlled environement, where staffs always knows whats goin on.
Its an awesome school! Everyone has so much school pride. Academic programs really push students to succeed. Students and parents will love it!
I was a student in Smoky Hill High. It was a great school academically ; however, discipline was of small priority with in the school system. I noticed that kids were more interested in messing around than actually behaving in the class. Kids would always complain on how the school is so strict. It seems they don't have the where with all to understand why she continuous to tighten the leash on the student body.
