My daughter went to PHHS on disciplinary entrance, for one semester and after being there she realized that this is the best school ever. She was behind because of her 10th grade year not taking it seriously. PHHS offers what they call blended learning program and you can get as many credits as you want to completed in the shortest time possible. Its all up to the student. SHe needed 9 more credits to graduate this year 2012 and she got them from January 2012 up to now. She will graduate in May 2012.. Im so excited.. GREAT OPPORTUNITY SCHOOL

I recently had graduated from Patrick Henry High School and just thought that I'd say that this is one of the best schools to let your children attend. Even though it might not be a traditional school, it still manages to get there students graduated on time and student have the opportunity to have more of a one on one time with the teachers.

I Love this school. I wish other school's would care about their students and keep their parents inform about how they are doing. They also have something positive to say and don't mind taking extra steps into helping child to succeed.

My child has attended patrick henry for 3 years. He has grown as a person and a student as a result of the dedicated staff. My main concern with the school is that pysical education does not at all seem important to the administration.

I had a very good experience last year with Patrick Henry. The teachers are more professional, seem to care more and my child did much better academically.
