St. Tammany Parish Public Schools Reviews
Rating 4.09 out of 5 69 reviews
Rating 5 out of 5
My high school experience was great overall. I’ve learned so much about myself and so much about life. I learned what the words family, love, betrayal, law and life meant. All these events changed me, and I’m glad they happened because I wouldn’t have learned all these lessons. I was an honor student and definitely an over-achiever in high school. My freshman and sophom*ore year I was very interactive in school. I had tons of friends. I was on the step team and apart of the yearbook committee. My senior year of high school was when everything changed because i worked part time which meant I had to study harder to maintain being an honor student.

I grew up in St.Tammany Parish and got my education through their schools. My experience was amazing I loved the community and the teachers where always involved. I enjoyed learning about my interests and then some and made amazing connections with other students while attending school. Extra curriculars where very hands on and fun. I would give my overall experience a 10 star rating if I could.

Being a student at FHS is a lot of fun. I love attending sporting events, school dances, etc. The school offers a lot. I feel very prepared for college because of the academics.
