I went to school at Bear lake and let me tell you, all of you can moan and groan all you want about the teachers but I would like to say our teachers were the best. Come one we had an egg timer for a bell system, we had to run and jump over boxes and building supplies. I just wanted to say hello for a former student of 1983. thanks Thomas Sutherland

This school's Academic Decathlon team just won its third straight state championship. Both of my children won substantial college scholarships. I have been very pleased with the quality of education and the supportive atmosphere.

Any student who is willing to put out cna have a wonderful experience in this school. The teachers and students for the most part are very caring for one another. Class selction is limited but flexibility within classes allows teachers to compensate for the limited course offering. Students get out of school what they are willing to put into it. This schools students are no different.

For a school in such a small area, there are many opportunities for the students who want to be in advanced classes. And every student is able to be involved in extra curricular activities!

The school is sub-standard at best. Newer tachers are cut constantly while those past the age of retirement are left in the classroom. Programs are constanlty being cut.

My children have received an excellent education at Bear Lake High School. All of them have continued on to highter education with no problems. My children were very involved with extracurricular activies and student government which kept them very busy. Most students get out of school according to their own willingness to participate. lack of opportunity is not the problem.

'I am a student attending Bear Lake High.' I am not from a small town I am actually from Canada. I wouldn't say that I hate Bear Lake but i definitly belive that they could improve and have alot more school spirit, Cause to tell you the truth I came here in the middle of December not being a 'Bear' being the loudest fan for the Sports team. Especilly basketball. Also one more thing the teachers are to nice, not saying that they are not good teachers but i don't feel modivated when I am in their class. I think that the only class that I was trying my hardest was Mrs. Barchy.

Yeah I'm a student right now at Bear Lake and personally I like somethings but there are somethings I could complain about! I love the teachers! I don't think there are very many that I really can't stand. I get a long with most of them and I think they really care when it comes to us. They like to be involved in our lives. I enjoy the activities we have but I think we could have a lot more! Also a lot more electives! We don't have very many clubs or other activities that anyone can get invovled in! I'm on the student coucnil and that has been one of our major concerns! The school is kinda run down though but the students are really nice and get along great! I like going here!

I am also a student. I believe that the people who go to this school and hate it is because they are not willing to make it better. All students hate their own school. Most students I have heard complaining do not go to games and do not support the school in the activities they do to try and make the school better, they just like complaining. I know that this school is not first rate but there are many things being done to make it better. I love this school and I believe the education is average.
