William H. Turner Technical Arts High School

learning hot to appreciate and yes, utilize,My natural initiative and enthusiasm. I was one of those Students that if portrayed in a positive light would be called rambunctious, exuberant and smart. I'm a teenager after all, and our goals is to have a good time. I could turn any material into a good time, that is if teachers let me, and most did not. But these two teachers were different. They let us transform what could easily have been a very run-of-the-mill weekly vocabulary assignment in which we were to study and incorporate as many of the new words as possible into our new enhanced Attitudes. With their blessing I try to remember that as a teenager,with all the issues and concerns that any normal teenager has, what I most wanted and appreciated was learning in a light, enjoyable way. And for this I always tell myself that if im not being engaged, or dare I say, entertained in some way,most likely im probably not learning, at least not in any meaningful way. This generation is full of teenagers and they are different. I try to remember this when facing my own reality. I am not always successful but i will be if i work at it.

Dont buy into all the hype trust me this school is LAME. First off everything about the school is boring it has no activities and the teachers put you to sleep. Im a sophmore at the school and its my first year here, and it will be my last! Some of these teachers barely speak english. The teachers dont even care about the students, this mite be the most uninteresting school in history. Sure it offers lots of stuff, but trust me you'll fall asleep on these teachers and you'll probably fail anyway. Whatever you do dont go to this school, you'll regret it!

This school is amazing. Sure it doesn't have sports, but the teachers and students are awesome. The students spent most of their time learning instead of causing drama, so I give it 5 out of 5 stars.

It's an 'ok' school. It's really good academic wise, because you can get a headstart in the career you want to be in. But in sports and activities, not so much. It would be a really fun school if we at least had a sports team, but we don't.

Really great learning environment. Students don't spend much of their time causing trouble. Building education and creating a successful future is key at this school. I am a graduating senior and my experience at Turner Tech has been both educational and fun!!!

This school was originally designed for kids with no intention on going to college; hence the dual enrollement programs and the certificated the kids graduate with. Turner Tech is an okay school, not bad but not great. Scholarship money is not to so good either.

My child has been a honor roll student since she has been enrolled in Turner tech. I love the staff and how heartfelt their job is to them.

Excellence is the term for Turner Tech. I will be sending my 3 sons there when the time comes. The faculty and staff are truly caring. You can feel the love and warmth. As a former teacher there, the teacher dedication, parental involvement and administrators make it a wonderful place for children to learn and grow.

Good school, lots of teachers and administrators send their kids to school here. Great journalism/newspaper program. No sports helps kids focus on real-world skills.

The most important thing to me about this school is, that my daughter is achieving a great education and she has set her goals with the Agri-Science education. This motivation is the key for any student, to show them that they can accomplish enything the want to be. My daughter loves all her classes... She knows that if she do not do good in one or any of her other classes she would be taken out of the program she's involved in either by the school or by me. So you see, both parents and schools can work together to make sure that our children are getting the correct education and definining their future. Getting college credits is the best.Thanks to all the teachers and all the school staff for doing a great job and their devotion.

School is ideal for those who plan on entering work force directly after graduation. Also good for those who plan on enter collge but as far as providing a course selections that allows students to compete academically at all levels, I do not think it measures up. Few ap classes two when I last checked and no honors classes but only honors by exhibition. Strong emphasis on discipline because of the school to work focus that is unnecessary and overbearing for those students who are already disciplined. Also emphasis on self starting and initiative. Not a big emphasis on individual talent development. Mostly great student counseling and leadership. Overall good school.

Well to be honest i think that William H. Turner Technical Arts High School should have some type of sports there, so they can represent the school sports wise and acedemic wise, instead of playing for some other school that is not up to their standards.
