As a senior student at Horseshoe Bend, I can honestly say that I am proud to be a General. The teachers all know their students by their first name and genuinely care about the well-being of the students. Learning is the most important thing at this school, not the extra curricular activites. The students

Also, parents and students should keep in mind that the dress code for 2009-2010 was not chosen by the school or the principle; it is a county mandated dress code that stemmed directly from the superintendant. The small school atmostphere allows students to form almost family like bonds. My children will definietly attend this school if my life and job allow me to stay in New Site. Go Generals! Read less

I went from HBHS kindergarden-9th grade, and now I am being forced to go back for my senior year, and after attending two other highschools and I can proudly say Horseshoe Bend is NOT A GOOD SCHOOL. They are so behind with everything. I will be behind my first year in college because of classes Horseshoe

A lot of people are saying that HBHS is a great school to send their children, but I would definitely disagree. I attended HBHS as a student and I have actually been out in the real world. I would like to let you know that HBHS is behind in education. They do not have the same educational standards

HBHS is a home to me that I would never want to leave. Out of the many Schools in Tallapoosa County I would say HBHS is the best! What makes it be my favorite is that it is small and every student gets more one on one with the teacher. I am quite surprised on the negative things people are saying about

For a small school like us you don't have to be a pro baseball player or basketball player to play any sports. Plus there's alot organizations to participate in a small school like ours. Because of these things I support Horsehoe Bend and love it! Read less
