Posted May 16, 2005

San Saba offers many dual credit and honors courses, so there are numerous opportunities to gain college credits during high school. There is excellent parent support, and teachers really care. Extracurricular activites are available too- band, athletics, drama, drill team. The community is also pretty good and they are very supportive.
