Teachers are nice but again I'm not sure if they are lacking in the ability to actually teach or if they are just doing what the system says to do and push the kids forward to the next grade without actually making sure they are at least in an average level compliant with where they need to be for the next grade. I think they are tied up with the bureaucrats which in the long run means the kids are loosing out. My final comment would be this could be a great school, but the first thing that needs to be done is that the students need to be educated and educated properly. They need to be fluent in the basics and if they aren't they need to be held back. This will make the school look bad for a while but in the end it's the students that will benefit by getting a better education and this in turn will improve the overall school itself. The question I ask all parents is this, "Are we just wanting a bunch of kids to be in a group with no skills to do well in life, or do we want our children to be and do better than we have in life?" If the answer is better then we need to fight the school in how they handle testing and teaching. We had, 20 and 30 years ago teachers who taught, now its try and keep up and if you can't that's the next grades problem.

As a student of this school, I believe that the quality of education is amazing. There are so many amazing teachers who put effort into their lessons. The school also offers numerous extracurriculars including DECA, student council, and SADD. The thing I like most about HDHS is the personal connections you are able to establish with the teachers and staff. You will always be able to find a trustworthy adult to talk to. I truly am so happy I was able to attend HDHS and hope to come back and visit soon. Reading reviews of angry parents and kids will never be able to truly tell all that this school has to offer.

Committed staff, teachers and administration. Recognized by us news and world report as top 11th high school in 2015
