Cross Roads High School

True, we are a very,very small school and we can not provide extra activities that the larger schools may provide,but we do provide a safe learning environment, consistancy in discipline,great teachers,coaches, principals and supers.

In attending Cross Roads High School I learned a lot to help me in the 'real world'. The teachers were great and it is such a small community it really felt like family. I would definitely recommend this school to any that are interested although it is very basic as far as extra curricular activities and academics are concerned you wont have a better experience elsewhere.

I went to CRHS, and found it to be a rewarding experience. Although it is true that there is a lack of upper level academic classes, this is typical of the small school environment, where there are also less resources and teachers. The school did have a good G/T during my years there, although it could have improved. Small high schools are wonderful if you are looking to be able to particpate in many activities. I played pretty much every sport offered, was in the band, did One Act Play for 2 years, was involved in student government, etc. The quality of teachers at CR was almost always top notch. I think its great that they also have a school board that really wants to see improvement in the district as well. Keep up the good work in Cross Roads!

' I have gone to Cross Roads for 10 years then, the 11th I had to get out. There are few extra activites and leadership programs, but this school needs major changes and leadership!'

I had a student at CRHS and was so very disappointed in the lack of and quality of extra curricular activities offered. The very few available need to be restructured and a professional focus needs to be placed upon them with leaders who choose to be involved and want to be a part of the change. The quality of the program is the key, not so much the quantity, so if you have a small school, with very few extra curricular activities, focus on making them the best, by providing student with the best leadership possible.

There is little extracurricular activity at Cross Roads High School. Although equipped with many athletic teams, the school does not have a honors program or a theatre program. Students often compete in the annual UIL competition, yet they have not had any preparation and teams are thrown together at the last minute. The school will not even organize a group of thespians for the much-loved One-Act play for the 2003-2004 school year.
